Russian Attacks Kill Multiple Civilians in Donetsk, Kherson, Sumy Regions

Russian forces have continued aggressive attacks across multiple Ukrainian regions, particularly in Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhia, resulting in numerous civilian casualties and widespread damage. Recent shelling and drone strikes killed at least five civilians, including children, and injured many others, with significant destruction to homes, infrastructure, and vehicles. The Kherson region has seen repeated attacks causing fatalities, with the UN labeling these assaults as war crimes. Amidst this violence, Ukraine has initiated evacuations in border villages due to the ongoing threat, while Russian forces have amassed troops near the Sumy region, signaling potential further offensives. Despite Russia confirming it will send a delegation to Istanbul for peace talks, Kyiv has yet to accept the proposal, as attacks persist. Ukrainian officials report that Russian offensives focus on key areas such as Pokrovsk, Torets, and Lyman in Donetsk, and the situation remains highly volatile.
