War in Ukraine: A Cycle of Escalation The recent attack on Kyiv by Russian ballistic missiles is a stark reminder that the conflict in Ukraine has reached a critical juncture.
The incident, which resulted in two deaths and seven injuries, occurred just a day after US peace envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner left the Ukrainian capital following talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The timing of this attack is particularly noteworthy, given that it occurred shortly after the departure of the US negotiators.
