In Kyiv, a nine-storey apartment building was completely destroyed, an incident local officials are calling the deadliest attack on the capital so far this year

Ukrainian rescuers work tirelessly through the rubble following an overnight bombardment

Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, reported that at least 14 people died as explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital for nearly nine hours, demolishing dozens of apartments

President Zelenskyy stated Russia fired over 440 drones and 32 missiles at Kyiv, calling it "one of the most terrifying strikes." With 139 injured in Kyiv, Mayor Klitschko declared Wednesday a day of mourning

The escalated attacks occurred after two peace talks failed to end the four-year war

With peace talks uncertain, Ukraine's diplomatic efforts continue amidst differing international views
