On Wednesday, Russia launched daytime drone attacks on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, killing two people and injuring 23 others.
These strikes occurred just hours before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed world leaders gathered at the United Nations General Assembly.
The day before, Zelenskyy had met with US President Donald Trump, who expressed frustration over the lack of progress in negotiations aimed at ending the conflict, as well as the ongoing escalation of air attacks on both sides.
