Setbacks in Russia-Ukraine Peace Process Amid Ongoing Strikes

The Russia-Ukraine peace process has hit a standstill, according to a Kremlin statement on Monday. This follows U.S. President Donald Trump's observations regarding the impact of Russian military actions on Ukrainian soil.

President Trump noted on Friday that a recent Russian missile strike on a Kyiv apartment, resulting in 24 civilian deaths, held up progress towards peace in the ongoing four-year conflict.

In response, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov pointed out to reporters that Ukrainian forces have been implicated in strikes on civilian sites within Russia. Moscow recently endured one of its largest drone attacks in over a year, resulting in three casualties in the region surrounding the capital.
