Russian Strikes Wound 23 In Multiple Ukrainian Cities

Recent developments in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine have seen a significant escalation in hostilities, with both sides launching attacks that have resulted in civilian casualties. On February 26, 2026, Russian air and missile strikes across multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia, wounded 23 individuals, including a child, as reported by the Daily Times. This bombardment occurred just hours before Ukrainian and US negotiators convened in Geneva to discuss reviving stalled peace talks. The strikes targeted key urban areas, highlighting the ongoing volatility in the region as the war continues unabated. As Kyiv's head of military administration, Tymur Tkachenko, noted, "The situation remains tense, and we are prepared for further escalations."
