Russia struck an airport in Kyiv and the nearby Boryspil airport overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, framing the attacks as a response to a planned visit by U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoys.
The strikes took place shortly before the expected arrival of the American negotiators in Ukraine. Zelenskyy reported the attacks, but the supplied material gives no further details about damage or casualties.
The timing placed the airport strikes alongside the planned diplomatic visit, which Zelenskyy presented as the reason for Russia’s overnight attack.
