A Russian drone strike in Zaporizhzhia kills two, complicating upcoming U.S.-Ukraine peace talks amid ongoing conflict.
A Russian drone attack on the city of Zaporizhzhia killed at least two people, a Ukrainian official said, ahead of expected U.S.-Ukraine talks.
Zaporizhzhia regional head Ivan Fedorov said a man and a woman were killed and two children wounded when a Russian drone hit a private house on Saturday (March 21, 2026) morning.
The attack came ahead of expected U.S.-Ukraine talks, which Ukrainian state media reported would take place later in the day in Miami.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said late on Thursday (March 19) he had sent an official delegation to the United States in a bid to move forward suspended U.S.-brokered talks on ending Russia’s invasion.
Trilateral talks involving Russia, which have yet to produce any breakthrough on key issues, have been on ice while the Iran war has dominated international attention.
The White House did not confirm any meeting with the Ukrainian delegation.
