Story summary

Missiles and drones struck Kyiv overnight on October 22, 2026, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saint Petersburg to discuss peace talks between Ukraine and Russia. The attack killed one person and wounded at least 15 others in the Ukrainian capital, damaging metro infrastructure and restricting traffic on the Southern Bridge over the Dnipro River. Meanwhile, Moscow reported that it intercepted more than 630 drones launched towards the Russian city during the same period.

Putin welcomed Witkoff on Wednesday, praising him as a "humanitarian" for freeing U.S. citizen Stephen Hubbard but warned there was little substance in peace proposals from Ukraine and Europe. The Kremlin stated it is open to resuming trilateral talks involving Russia, the United States, and Ukraine after November 10, following the U.S. midterm elections. Despite this, attacks continued on both sides; Ukrainian officials reported casualties in several regions, including Kharkiv where a woman was killed and four people injured.

The exchanges underscored the ongoing conflict despite diplomatic efforts to resolve it through negotiations, with President Trump expressing optimism that a resolution might be near after Witkoff's meeting with Putin.
