Putin signals readiness for US talks amid ongoing Ukraine strikes

Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed readiness for negotiations with American representatives, indicating he awaits their engagement once US focus on Iran diminishes. This statement comes amidst continued military actions, with Ukrainian forces reportedly conducting a second strike this month on an oil pumping station near Moscow on Saturday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also claimed the military hit two oil refineries overnight. Concurrently, Russia launched an air attack on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, in the early hours of Sunday, which local military administration officials reported caused at least two injuries. These incidents underscore the ongoing targeting of infrastructure and urban areas by both parties.
