Russia continues assaults across Ukraine as Putin signals readiness for talks

Russian forces have continued their assaults across Ukraine, causing multiple casualties and infrastructure damage. Overnight strikes in the Zaporizhzhia oblast resulted in three deaths and eighteen injuries, while four fatalities were reported in Dnipro. Further bombardments wounded three people in Dnipropetrovsk and ten in Sumy. Kyiv's military administration also confirmed at least two injuries from a Russian aerial attack on Sunday. These attacks led to power outages in the Sumy, Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions. Meanwhile, Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, stated that Russian air defenses intercepted 46 Ukrainian drones targeting the capital early Tuesday, with no immediate reports of damage or injuries. Separately, Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated his readiness for discussions with American representatives once Washington's focus on Iran diminishes, stating, "We are ready to continue negotiations and the discussion of all the details."
