Cross-border strikes persist as US envoys prepare peace talks in Moscow and Kyiv

Cross-border attacks between Russia and Ukraine continued overnight despite upcoming visits by American envoys to discuss potential peace plans in Moscow and Kyiv. Russian missile and drone strikes across multiple Ukrainian regions killed at least four people and injured over ten others, while Ukraine reported striking another Russian oil refinery alongside drone attacks on Sochi and Belgorod.

The ongoing violence coincides with statements from U.S. President Donald Trump asserting that both sides agreed to pause strikes on energy facilities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy countered that Kyiv would only halt such attacks if Western partners ensure Moscow refrains from targeting Ukraine's energy, transport, and food infrastructure. Meanwhile, European Union officials condemned a Russian strike on a train near the Polish border, describing it as an attempt to intimidate European nations.
