Kyiv’s military administration said a Nov. 7 missile strike injured two people, while Al Jazeera reported that U.S.-led negotiations between Ukraine and Russia were scheduled in Abu Dhabi three days later.
The Kyiv City Military Administration said a building housing a kindergarten was damaged. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said Russian forces used ballistic missiles; debris struck a five-story apartment building in western Kyiv and damaged the facade of another residence. Warnings of further strikes remained in place for several hours.
Al Jazeera reported that, in a nightly video message before the strike, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Russia was preparing to hit energy targets, bridges and other infrastructure.
Ukraine’s lead negotiator Rustem Umerov said Brussels discussions addressed rebuilding after the war, next year’s funding and security guarantees. He identified officials from four national governments—the United States, United Kingdom, France and Germany—alongside the European Union, World Bank and BlackRock.
Ukraine’s State Emergency Service reported one death and 22 injuries in the Oct. 22 attack on Kyiv. The Kyiv City Military Administration later counted 24 injured, including 16 hospitalized.
Al Jazeera said the Abu Dhabi meeting would follow the previous round of talks in February.
