Russia Launches Deadly Attacks on Ukraine Even as Peace Talks Continue
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Ukraine, at least six people were killed in the capital Kyiv
overnight as Russia launched a wave of missile and drone attacks,
targeting buildings and energy infrastructure. Separately, six people,
including two children, were wounded in Russian attacks on the port city
of Odesa. Ukraine countered with drone attacks that killed three people
and injured eight others in Russia's southern Rostov region.

The violence came hours after talks on a U.S.-backed peace plan wrapped
up in Geneva and as U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll reportedly
headed to Abu Dhabi for talks with a Russian delegation and Ukraine's
intelligence chief. On Monday, Moscow rejected a Ukrainian and European
Union-backed 19-point counterproposal to the 28-point peace plan
supported by President Trump.
