"The enemy attack on Kyiv is ongoing," Kyiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said in a post to Telegram early Tuesday local time.

Russia launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine on Tuesday, as American and Russian officials held talks in Abu Dhabi about President Donald Trump’s peace plan and Ukraine indicated that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was prepared to go to Washington to finalize a deal.

Russia launched a new barrage of drones and missiles at the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Tuesday, killing six people, wounding 13, and disrupting electricity and heating systems, officials said.

Pokrovsk was dubbed a "fortress" settlement in the Donetsk region, key to Ukrainian lines in the east and connected to other cities forming the backbone of Ukraine's defense in the east. Russia kicked off a push to take Pokrovsk in the summer of 2024.
