Russian strikes on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv on Monday killed at least one person and left a shop and school on fire, according to city officials.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, we have information about one person who died as a result of the attack,” the head of Kyiv’s military adminsitration Tymur Tkachenko said on Telegram.<\/p>\n
Four districts of the city were attacked, with reports of burning residential buildings, a kiosk and a kindergarten, Kyiv’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said in another Telegram post.<\/p>\n
The entrance to the Lukyanivska metro station was also damaged, he added.<\/p>\n
The strikes come days after Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv had proposed a new round of peace talks to Moscow.<\/p>\n
So far two rounds of talks in Istanbul have failed to result in any progress towards a ceasefire, instead yielding large-scale prisoner exchanges and deals to return the bodies of killed soldiers.<\/p>\n
The Kremlin said this month it was ready to continue talks with Ukraine after US President Donald Trump gave Russia 50 days to strike a peace deal or face sanctions.<\/p>\n
The European Union on Friday agreed an 18th package of sanctions on Moscow that targets Russian banks and lowers a price cap on oil exports, in a bid to curb its ability to fund the war.<\/p>\n
