Four children were among at least 14 people injured in an overnight Russian air attack on the capital Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said.
Two high-rise residential buildings were hit in the strikes, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, without specifying if they were hit directly or as a result of falling debris.
Everyone is receiving medical assistance, some have been hospitalized, Kyiv's military administration said in a post on Telegram.
Meanwhile, Russian air defenses destroyed a drone heading towards Moscow, according to the city's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin.
The strikes come as US President Donald Trump said that he would only meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin if he knew that we're going to make a deal, days after plans for the two to meet in Budapest collapsed.
Trump expressed disappointment on board Air Force One and indicated he would like China to assist in ending the war in Ukraine as he prepared for a meeting with China's President Xi Jinping in South Korea.
Ending the Russia-Ukraine war has become a focal point for Trump in recent months, with a ceasefire deal eluding him despite his campaign promises to resolve the situation quickly.
A summit with Putin in August failed to yield any tangible results, with Trump expressing frustration over the lack of progress in negotiations.
However, Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev has stated that he believes Russia, Ukraine, and the US are close to a diplomatic solution, noting a shift in the Ukrainian president's stance towards negotiations.
In the wake of the attacks, discussions around military aid and support for Ukraine continue to emerge, as officials assess the ongoing conflict's impact on civilians.
