U.S. Special President’s Envoy Keith Kellogg stated that Russia’s overnight attack on Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, threatens the peace sought by President Donald Trump.

He reported this on the social media platform X, according to Ukrinform.

“Last night Russia launched the second largest aerial attack of the war with 600 drones and 31 missiles. The targets? Not soldiers and weapons but residential areas in Kyiv — blasting civilian trains, the EU and British mission council offices, and innocent civilians. These egregious attacks threaten the peace that the U.S. president is pursuing,” Kellogg wrote.
