- Russia attacked Ukraine's capital Kyiv with ballistic missiles overnight.
- Ukraine responded by sending hundreds of drones towards Moscow in the same overnight period.
- The attacks occurred despite a recent push by the U.S. to end the conflict and resume peace talks.
Why it matters: The immediate escalation directly contradicts the diplomatic momentum for talks, demonstrating that both sides are willing to increase military pressure even as negotiations are proposed. This creates a perilous situation where diplomacy and violence are escalating in parallel.
