Russian forces conducted renewed attacks in Ukraine, with shelling in Dnipro resulting in four fatalities and power disruptions across the Sumy, Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. An overnight Russian air assault on Kyiv also caused at least two injuries, according to local military administration. Concurrently, Ukrainian forces claimed responsibility for striking two oil refineries and a pumping station near Moscow, marking the second such attack on the pumping station this month. Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated his readiness for negotiations with American representatives, stating, "We are ready to continue negotiations and the discussion of all details," once US attention shifts from Iran. Separately, the Netherlands issued a warning, suggesting Russia could attack a NATO member within a year following the end of the war in Ukraine.
