Russia launched missile attacks on Kyiv shortly after agreeing to resume peace talks with Ukraine, a US-backed effort.
Moscow said it is "ready in principle" to return to negotiations. US President Donald Trump said the world is "the closest we've been" to ending the war.
The strikes on the Ukrainian capital came just hours after that announcement, casting doubt on how serious Russia is about peace.
The attacks did not stop the diplomatic push. Trump's comment suggests Washington sees real progress, even as fighting continues.
It is still unclear when talks will restart or what terms each side will bring to the table.
