Russia claims fresh battlefield gains in eastern Ukraine as fighting intensifies despite renewed diplomatic contacts. Moscow says its forces captured settlements in the Kharkiv and Dnepropetrovsk regions, supported by artillery, drones, and thermobaric weapons. The escalation includes a major strike using Kinzhal hypersonic missiles and long-range drones, targeting Ukrainian defense and energy infrastructure. At the same time, Russian air defenses shot down drones approaching Moscow, highlighting growing risks on both sides. While Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky says peace talks with U.S. officials have strengthened Kyiv’s position, the war continues to expand in scope and intensity.
