Ukrainian officials say that Russian drones and missiles struck the capital Kyiv overnight, killing at least eight people and wounding dozens of others, including a 6-year-old boy. Russia’s attack came hours after Ukraine’s parliament voted to restore the independence of two anti-corruption agencies, following widespread protests and pressure from European officials. Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets after President Zelensky’s ruling party tried to push amendments that would have allowed his administration to transfer cases away from the agencies.
