Ukraine-Russia war latest: Child killed in Russian strike after Zelensky accuses Putin of sabotaging talks
A nine-year-old child has been killed and a teenager sustained injuries after Russia struck Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Oblast overnight.
Governor Ivan Fedorov wrote this morning that one house was destroyed, while several other houses, cars, and outbuildings were damaged by the air raid on Ukraine’s southern region.
Amid the barrage of missile strikes, Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of “doing everything it can” to ensure that a next potential meeting between the two sides brings no results.
Ukraine has not yet confirmed whether it will attend the talks in Istanbul on Monday. It said it was committed to peace, but that it was waiting for a memorandum from the Russian side setting out their proposals.
The Donald Trump administration has claimed that Britain will attend the next round of peace talks. Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, told US outlet ABC News that national security advisers from the UK, Germany and France would all attend the talks.
Last night, the US told a UN Security Council meeting that Putin should “take the deal” and agree to a pause in fighting for 30 days.
