The latest round of talks between Ukrainian and Russian officials aimed at ending or curtailing the devastating bombardment of Ukraine will continue Tuesday. Shortly before dawn, large explosions thundered across the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. A series of Russian strikes hit a residential neighborhood, igniting a huge fire and a frantic rescue effort in a 15-story apartment building. At least one person was killed and others remained trapped inside. The latest negotiations, held by video Monday, were the fourth round involving higher-level officials from the two countries. They were halted for a "technical pause," said Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The two sides had expressed some optimism in the past few days. Podolyak tweeted that the negotiators would discuss "peace, cease-fire, immediate withdrawal of troops & security guarantees." Previous discussions, held in person in Belarus, produced no lasting humanitarian routes or agreements to end the fighting.
