Kyiv. Three people, including a 5-year-old child, were killed in a massive drone attack by Russian forces on Ukraine’s capital in the early hours of March 23. Ten others were injured in the prolonged onslaught, which lasted some five hours, with drones striking residential buildings and cars, causing damage across the city.

Putin suggested Ukraine be placed under a form of temporary administration to reach a settlement in the war, Russian news agencies reported.

Russian and U.S. officials met this week in Saudi Arabia to try to work out some sort of ceasefire in the war in Ukraine. But even as Russia talks about peace, its attacks on Ukrainian cities continues.
