Russia and Ukraine continue strikes amid peace envoy visits and energy truce talks

Overnight drone and missile exchanges between Russia and Ukraine persisted across several regions, resulting in civilian casualties in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, while Ukrainian forces struck Russian infrastructure, including an oil refinery. The escalation coincided with visits by US peace envoys arriving in both capitals ahead of talks at the United Nations.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump stated that Moscow and Kyiv agreed to stop targeting energy facilities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy clarified that Kyiv would comply only if Western partners ensure Russia stops attacking Ukraine's energy sites, food supply chains, and transport networks. European Union leaders also condemned recent Russian bombardment near the Ukrainian border with Poland, characterizing the strikes as attempts to intimidate European nations.
