Russia's drone strikes kill three in Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia amid ceasefire talks

Russian drone attacks on Kyiv have resulted in the deaths of three people, including a five-year-old child, as tensions continue ahead of upcoming ceasefire negotiations. The Ukrainian interior ministry reported that the attacks also left several others injured and sparked fires in high-rise apartments across the city. Despite a recent partial ceasefire agreement facilitated by U.S. President Trump, Russia launched a significant number of drone strikes, with Ukraine intercepting many of them. Ukraine's President Zelensky emphasized that the nation is open to discussions regarding a full ceasefire. Meanwhile, both sides have accused each other of continued hostilities and targeting civilian infrastructure. The situation remains precarious as U.S. officials prepare to mediate talks in Saudi Arabia between the two nations.
