A series of explosions rocked Kyiv and neighboring cities signaling the end of Russia's three-day ceasefire. DW has the latest.
On Tuesday, September 8, explosions struck Kyiv as Russia's three-day truce with Ukraine ended. Ukrainian authorities reported missile attacks hit Kyiv, Boryspil, and Fastiv, urging residents to seek shelter. The attack followed Ukraine's Prosecutor General, Ruslan Kravchenko, resigning over corruption allegations involving his office.
Kravchenko denied any involvement, stating the allegations were "completely unsubstantiated." The ceasefire lull coincided with US President Donald Trump's envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, visiting Kyiv and Moscow to facilitate talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
