As leaders arrived in Washington to discuss how to end Russia’s three-year war in Ukraine, civilians in Ukraine were killed and wounded by Russian missile strikes Monday in the eastern city of Kharkiv.

A Russian drone attack on a residential area in Kharkiv killed seven people including a toddler and a 16-year-old boy overnight, Ukrainian authorities said on Monday, as the United States presses Kyiv to accept a quick deal to end the warthat Moscow started.

Ukrainian officials said the deadly strikes were a further sign that Russia had no intention of halting hostilities.

Ukraine said on Monday that at least seven people were killed and 37 others injured in overnight Russian airstrikes on the cities of Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia.
