KYIV — On Sunday night, Russia launched an attack on Ukraine’s capital city using drones and missiles, resulting in at least one casualty and hitting the entrance of a subway station where hundreds had taken shelter.
This marked the first significant targeting of Kyiv in a week, following a period where Moscow had reduced its pressure on the capital. This reduction coincided with Special Presidential Envoy retired Gen. Keith Kellogg’s presence in the city for discussions with Ukrainian officials.
Ukraine’s air defense systems were activated, repelling the attack – though explosions were still heard around the city.
During this time, Ukrainians humorously dubbed the envoy “St. Kellogg” for seemingly prompting Russia to halt heavy attacks, likely out of concern for the general’s safety and the potential reaction from President Trump.
Sunday night’s attack caused multiple fires in Kyiv and damaged a subway station as well as a kindergarten, shops and houses, according to city officials.
Videos surfaced on social media of the underground station filling with smoke as people sheltered inside.
