Russia bombards Kyiv as negotiation stops on technical grounds
Multiple explosions took place in and around Kyiv as Russian forces inched closer to Ukraine’s capital.
At least two people died and three more were hospitalized after a residential building in Obolon, a suburb of the capital of Kyiv, was hit by shelling early on Monday morning, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said.
Several heavy explosions also reverberated across Kyiv at 11 a.m. local time (5 a.m. ET) Monday.
They appear to have been caused by Ukrainian air-defense batteries aiming at either Russian aircraft or cruise missiles. Trails of smoke heading into the sky could be seen from central Kyiv.
On Saturday, the UK Ministry of Defence said the bulk of Russian ground forces were now only 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) from the center of the Ukrainian capital.
Moscow and Kyiv resumed negotiation on Monday, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has backed down on joining NATO, one of the demands Russia made.
The meeting was reportedly paused on technical grounds, and would resume Tuesday
