On May 14, 2026, Kyiv experienced heavy Russian strikes that resulted in one death and at least 31 injuries, according to city officials. The attacks, which included over 670 attack drones and 56 missiles, targeted multiple districts in the capital and surrounding areas. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the strikes, highlighting the destruction of residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha connected the timing of the assault to the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing, arguing that it demonstrated Russia's ongoing threat to international security. He called for increased pressure on Moscow to end the conflict. The strikes followed the conclusion of a brief ceasefire, marking a continuation of hostilities that have persisted since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, resulting in a severe humanitarian crisis.
