The bombardment came after Kremlin foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said on Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed 'in principle' to resume trilateral negotiations involving Russia, the US and Ukraine after 10 November, a week after the US midterm elections.
Putin reached the understanding during a meeting with US envoy Steve Witkoff in St Petersburg, Ushakov said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the prospect of renewed negotiations but expressed caution about their outcome.
'We'll see what happens this time,' he said shortly before air raid alerts sounded across Kyiv.
