civilian impact

Russia continues near-daily strikes on Kyiv, wounding 10 on Sept 3 and destroying a shopping centre in Mykolaiv on Sept 5. Kyiv expects talks with US envoys as foreign minister accuses Moscow of targeting American businesses.

Russian forces have struck Kyiv continuously for at least six days, injuring 10 civilians on 3 September alone. The psychological toll is pushing some residents to consider leaving the capital, as President Zelenskyy prepares for talks with US envoys in the coming days.
