POLICY WIRE — Kyiv, Ukraine — Russian aerial attacks led to the partial closure of three major bridges over the Dnipro River in Kyiv on Friday, according to the city’s mayor. This move marks a new strategy by Moscow to disrupt daily life in the Ukrainian capital.

The closures caused significant traffic congestion, with one resident describing the situation as “a total mess” after spending 45 minutes traveling just 4 kilometers. The strikes are part of an escalating campaign that has previously targeted residential areas, gas stations, and data centers.

Amid the attacks, Ukraine’s foreign minister revealed that four countries—United States, India, Turkey, and Egypt—have proposed a potential truce focusing on halting attacks on energy infrastructure and Black Sea shipping. However, Russia has not shown interest in such an agreement, maintaining its stance for a comprehensive peace deal rather than a temporary ceasefire.
