- Story Text:A large-scale Russian drone attack on Kyiv killed at least three people, including a 5-year-old child, and caused damage throughout the capital, Ukrainian officials said on Sunday (March 23).
Residents of a residential building hit during the strike said they would like a ceasefire to the three-year-old war so that life could become easier again - although one said he was doubtful Russia would stick to a full cessation of hostilities.
The drone strikes came hours ahead of planned talks in Saudi Arabia, as diplomatic efforts to end the war intensify.
Experts and officials from Ukraine, the U.S. and Russia are due to discuss ways to ensure the safety of shipping in the Black Sea.
The United States is pushing for a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, and hopes to reach a broad ceasefire in the war by April 20, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the planning.
But despite the peace push, both sides have been reporting continued strikes.
