Event Summary

Ukraine===Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, was hit by a ballistic missile attack early on Sunday, just two days before the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion. The attacks caused a fire on a residential building and injured two people. Simultaneously, explosions in Ukraine===Lviv, a western Ukrainian city, resulted in one death and 15 injuries, which Mayor Andriy Sadovyi described as an act of terrorism. Poland's Operational Command scrambled jets in response to detecting Russian long-range aviation conducting strikes. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is 'definitely not losing' the war and reported recent territorial gains, partly enabled by Elon Musk's SpaceX===Starlink internet terminals being shut down. The United States is attempting to broker peace talks, but without a breakthrough.
