Russian forces have launched another devastating assault on Ukraine just days before a UN-brokered summit of world leaders is set to discuss a potential ceasefire.
Eyewitnesses describe the attack as "apocalyptic" as residential buildings lay in ruins and multiple civilians were killed or injured, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation.
According to ABC News' reporting from Kyiv, where I am, the assault appears to be aimed at discrediting the newly found momentum in negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. These talks have been spearheaded by the United States, with hopes of reaching a peaceful resolution to the long-running conflict.
Despite these efforts, it remains unclear what concessions each side will make on November 28th. The ongoing pressure from world leaders may finally bring about some respite for the people caught in the middle of this ongoing war.
The scale of destruction is stark โ buildings reduced to rubble and debris scattered everywhere. Survivors tell harrowing tales of bombardment, gunfire, and explosions that left them with little but their lives.
