As both nations continue to trade attacks, local officials on both sides report that nine people have died in Russia and three in Ukraine. Following a Ukrainian attack on the Black Sea resort city of Gelendzhik on Monday, at least six people were killed and forty injured by falling drone debris, according to Veniamin Kondratyev, the governor of Krasnodar in southern Russia.
His remarks on Telegram were made just hours after Sergei Aksyonov, the governor of Russian-occupied Crimea appointed by Moscow, reported that a Ukrainian attack overnight had killed three persons and injured two more.
At least three people were murdered in a Russian attack on a gas station in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine, which has seen several attacks throughout the conflict, which is currently in its fifth year.
Oleksandr Hanzha, the regional governor, claimed in a Telegram post that the attack caused a fire that damaged the petrol station and surrounding cars.
Although both sides deny targeting civilians, the number of civilian casualties has increased in recent months.
The communities of Bilyi Kolodiaz and Uspenivka in the Kharkiv region of eastern Ukraine were taken by Russian forces, according to the country’s Defense Ministry on Monday.
A drone struck a warehouse in the town of Khryastovo in the Vladimir area of eastern Russia in the most recent Ukrainian assault on the massive Russian e-commerce company Wildberries.
Zelenskyy described his encounter with US President Donald Trump at the White House last week as “good.” During a phone conversation with US Vice President JD Vance on Friday, Zelenskyy expressed his desire for the US to assist Ukraine in strengthening its air defenses.
Trump seems to have subsequently changed his mind on giving Ukraine permission to produce Patriot interceptor missiles, though.
