Russia hits Kyiv with missiles and drones ahead of three-way talks
Russia struck Kyiv and the surrounding region overnight, hitting the Northern Bridge and energy facilities. Five people were hurt, including a 14-year-old, and the city had power, heating and water outages. Russia said it targeted military-industrial and energy sites. President Zelenskyy accused Moscow of trying to push Ukraine into a bad deal. Ukrainian, Russian and US delegations are due to meet in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 10 and 11, and the Kremlin has named its delegation.
Why it matters
The attacks hit civilian infrastructure just before the first three-way talks since February.
Background
Russia has fought a full-scale war against Ukraine for over four years. Both sides regularly strike energy networks. Winter raises the stakes for heating and power.
