Officials said an overnight Russian drone and missile strike on Kyiv killed at least 21 people, including four children, and injured dozens more. The attacks, which shook the capital into the early hours of Thursday, damaged buildings at 33 sites across all 10 districts, including the headquarters of the European Union mission to Ukraine and the British Council. France 24’s international affairs editor Philip Turle explains further, placing the assault in the broader context of the fragile Ukrainian-Russian peace process.
