Ukrainian cities endure Russian assaults as Moscow reports drone interception and Putin signals readiness for talks

Russian forces continued their assaults across Ukraine, resulting in multiple casualties and infrastructure damage. Overnight strikes in the Zaporizhzhia oblast led to three deaths and eighteen injuries. Further bombardments caused four fatalities in Dnipro, while three people were wounded in Dnipropetrovsk and ten in Sumy. Kyiv's military administration reported at least two injuries from a Russian aerial attack on Sunday. These assaults also 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."
