TL;DR Summary

Russia launched a broad overnight attack on Ukraine—ballistic missiles and about 167 drones—while Kyiv’s airports (Kyiv International and Boryspil) were being discussed as arrival points for U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who were due in Kyiv to push peace talks. Zelensky described the strikes as deliberate and tied to the diplomacy, Kyiv said it would adjust its airspace, and Ukraine had proposed a temporary ceasefire ahead of the visit; Moscow had not responded. The assault across the country left multiple casualties, including seven killed and at least 51 injured.
