Cross-border strikes continue as U.S. envoys begin peace talks in Kyiv and Moscow

Cross-border military strikes between Russia and Ukraine persisted over the weekend despite ongoing diplomatic visits by U.S. envoys to both capitals. Reports indicate that leaders in Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to temporarily halt strikes on each other's capital cities during the peace talks, but fighting continued elsewhere.

Russian attacks across Ukrainian regions resulted in at least four deaths and over a dozen injuries, including casualties in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. European Union diplomats condemned a Russian strike targeting a train near the Ukrainian-Polish border as an attempt to intimidate European allies.

Concurrently, Ukraine reported striking another Russian oil refinery, while Ukrainian drone attacks injured seven people in Sochi and Russia's Belgorod region. The escalated fighting comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy prepares to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
