Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of deliberately striking airports in Kyiv and Boryspil ahead of planned travel by U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. Zelensky described the attacks as “demonstrative” and suggested they were linked to discussions over the possibility of a U.S. aircraft landing in Ukraine. The overnight strikes reportedly killed four people and damaged civilian infrastructure across several Ukrainian regions. Zelensky warned that Ukraine would adjust its operations in response, particularly in Russian airspace. His claims raise fresh questions over whether Moscow’s strikes are intended to send a message as U.S.-Ukraine diplomatic efforts continue.
