Russia launched its largest attack on Kyiv in recent weeks, killing at least 18 people, including children, and damaging buildings linked to European missions. The assault follows recent diplomatic efforts by the United States, but officials say there has been no progress toward peace between Russia and Ukraine. President Zelensky condemned Russia's continued use of military force and announced upcoming talks with United States officials to discuss security guarantees. Meanwhile, European nations are moving to reinstate sanctions against Iran over violations of a nuclear agreement, and Israel faces challenges as reservists drop out ahead of a planned offensive in Gaza City.
