Russia and Ukraine say 15 died after latest attacks

Key Points:

• Russian-installed officials reported that Ukrainian attacks on holiday camps in the partly Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia region killed 12 people, including four children, and wounded 19 others, while a Russian drone strike in Ukraine’s Sumy region killed three people.
• The attacks followed a major Russian assault near Kyiv that resulted in at least 10 deaths and around 100 injuries, continuing the ongoing cycle of retaliatory strikes between Russia and Ukraine amid stalled diplomatic efforts.
• Ukraine’s drone strikes have targeted Russian oil facilities and logistics centers in Siberia and other regions, causing fires and fuel shortages that pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin and challenge Russia’s ability to defend its vast territory.
• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is preparing for a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday, coinciding with a memorial service for late Senator Lindsey Graham, a strong supporter of Kyiv.
• Romania’s defense forces shot down a drone near the Ukrainian border for the second time in two days, highlighting ongoing drone incursions affecting NATO member states since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.
