Vladimir Putin continues to bombard Ukraine with deadly drone attacks, killing a five-year-old child and two others overnight, just a day before ceasefire negotiations are set to resume. The Russia leader's forces attacked the Ukrainian capital just 24 hours before negotiators from Moscow and Kyiv are expected to hold indirect peace talks with US officials in Saudi Arabia.
The meeting comes as Putin continues to attack Ukraine despite agreeing a partial ceasefire with US President Donald Trump last week in which Russia agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure. At least three people were killed, including a five-year-old child, after a barrage of drones targeted Kyiv overnight on Sunday, according to local Ukrainian officials and emergency services.
Throughout the night in Kyiv the sounds of explosions reverberated across the city as air raid sirens sounded for around five hours warning of Russian drones and the debris from shot-down projectiles raining down on buildings and the streets. Ukraine's Kyiv City Military Administration said three people were killed and 10 others were injured.
