Russian missiles and drones pounded Kyiv overnight, killing two people and sending smoke billowing above the Ukrainian capital, ending Moscow’s temporary halt to strikes on the city.Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered the pause in attacks as US President Donald Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited the Russian and Ukrainian capitals at the weekend.Fresh explosions early Tuesday triggered fires and sent locals down into basements and metro stations for shelter.“The moment the US president’s peace envoys left, Putin launched another massive, horrific attack against Kyiv, damaging residential areas and killing at least two people,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said on social media.“His ballistic missiles speak louder than his words on diplomacy.”Witkoff and Kushner’s trips provided no immediate breakthrough in ending the four-and-a-half-year war, but represented Washington’s re-engagement with trying to broker a deal between the two sides, which had been on hold for months.
