Russia launched multiple strikes on Kyiv on Monday night, just hours before a humanitarian ceasefire was set to begin in Oleshky, a town in southern Ukraine.
The attacks hit the Ukrainian capital late on Monday, while the ceasefire in Oleshky was scheduled to take effect only a few hours later, according to reports.
Oleshky, located in the Kherson region, has been the focus of a localised humanitarian pause intended to allow the delivery of aid and the safe movement of civilians amid the ongoing conflict.
The timing of the strikes underscores the volatile security environment, with offensive actions in the capital occurring alongside efforts to create temporary relief for civilians in other parts of the country.
