Deadly Russian attacks hit Kyiv despite hints of war’s end

Russian officials issued a stark warning for foreign nationals to quickly flee Ukraine’s capital city as the Kremlin threatens a “systematic” barrage of strikes. It comes after more than 100 drones and two hypersonic missiles struck Kyiv over the past 48 hours, attacks that have reportedly left at least four more people dead.

The latest escalation comes just weeks after Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested that the war was nearing its end.
