Russian military operations against Kyiv resumed late Monday, ending a temporary three-day halt in strikes. According to Ukraine's emergency services, the resumption of hostilities occurred shortly after the conclusion of a diplomatic visit to the Ukrainian and Russian capitals by U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

President Vladimir Putin had previously ordered the three-day pause to facilitate the envoys' travel and discussions. While the strikes have now recommenced, the specific targets and the extent of the damage caused by the latest wave of attacks remain under assessment by local authorities. The situation remains fluid as international observers monitor the impact of these renewed strikes on the broader conflict and ongoing diplomatic efforts. The resumption of attacks marks a return to the status quo following the brief window of de-escalation provided for the U.S. delegation's visit.
