US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington remains prepared to mediate between Russia and Ukraine despite fresh Russian strikes on Kyiv, as renewed attacks underscored the fragile state of efforts to end the war.
Moscow launched a major strike on the Ukrainian capital on Sunday, days after Russia warned it could target Kyiv again, including what it described as “decision-making centers”. The escalation comes as US-led diplomatic efforts to broker an end to the conflict have slowed amid the ongoing crisis in the Middle East.
