A renewed US push to end the war between Russia and Ukraine is gathering momentum, although some of the key issues remain unresolved, officials said on Tuesday.

The update was issued hours after Russia launched a wave of overnight attacks on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, with at least seven people killed in strikes that hit city buildings and energy infrastructure. A Ukrainian attack on southern Russia killed three people and damaged homes, authorities said.
