Russia strikes Ukraine after Witkoff-Putin talks, Zelensky says Kremlin stance unchanged
Moscow fired ballistic missiles at Ukraine shortly after talks between US envoy Steve Witkoff and Russia's Vladimir Putin, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Thursday. He said the attack showed the Kremlin's position on the war had not changed. The Kremlin said it was willing to restart three-way talks with Kyiv and Washington next month. However, it dismissed new ideas brought by Witkoff — developed with European countries and Ukraine — as lacking substance. Russia hit a dozen Ukrainian regions overnight.
