One killed in Russian strike on Ukraine's Kharkiv region
Representative image KYIV: A Russian drone attack on Ukraine's Kharkiv region killed one person and wounded another, its governor said Wednesday. The strikes hit a farm in the village of Borivske, resulting in warehouses and vehicles catching fire, Kharkiv Governor Oleg Synegubov wrote on Telegram. "Unfortunately, one person died and one was injured," he said. Russian shelling also targeted another farm in the village of Voloska Balakliya, igniting a warehouse but not causing casualties, he added. A Russian attack on the city of Kharkiv's, Novobavarsky district did not result in injuries, Mayor Igor Terekhov wrote on Telegram. Ukraine's military, meanwhile, said it hit an oil refinery in Russia's western Saratov region. It said the refinery is used by Moscow to "provide fuel and lubricants to the Russian military units" fighting against Ukraine. Russian authorities did not immediately confirm the attack. More than three years after Russia's February 2022 invasion of its neighbour, fighting continues to rage on the ground in Ukraine, with efforts to agree a truce at a standstill.

Russian drones wound 14 in Kharkiv
Russian night-time strikes on Kharkiv wounded 14 people, including four children, Ukraine said Thursday, in the latest heavy bombardment of the northeastern city. The strikes came a day after Russian attacks killed three people and wounded some 60 others in the city, some 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the Russian border. Kharkiv has been heavily hit by Russian forces throughout their more than three-year invasion. 'At night, the enemy attacked Kharkiv,' Ukraine's state emergency service said. 'Fourteen people, including four children, were wounded,' it added. The governor of the Kharkiv region, Oleg Synegubov, said the wounded children were a two-year-old boy and girls aged 12, 16 and 17. The mayor of the city, Igor Terekhov, said Russian drones attacked the city 'between 1:37 am. and 3:08 am' sparking fires 'in residential buildings and education institutions.' He said debris had fallen 'right next to playgrounds.' Russia has intensified strikes on Ukraine in recent days, with peace efforts being pushed by the United States having failed to lead to a breakthrough.

Russia launches strike in east Ukraine amid stalled peace talks
KHARKIV: Fresh Russian strikes on Ukraine's northeastern city of Kharkiv killed three people and wounded 60 others, including children, on Wednesday, authorities said, as Moscow pushed ahead with attacks after rejecting an unconditional ceasefire. Ukraine said it had received the bodies of more than 1,200 soldiers, handed over by Moscow, part of a repatriation deal the two sides agreed at talks last week. Russia has fired record numbers of drones and missiles at Ukraine over recent weeks, escalating three years of daily bombardments as it outlines hardline demands — rejected by Kyiv as "ultimatums" — to halt its three-year attack. The northeastern city of Kharkiv, just 30 kilometres from the Russian border, again bore the brunt of the attack. "Seventeen strikes by enemy UAVs (drones) were carried out in two districts of the city tonight," Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov said on Telegram. Kharkiv regional Governor Oleg Synegubov said three people had been killed. "Every new day now brings new cowardly strikes from Russia, and almost every strike is demonstrative. Russia deserves increased pressure," Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media after the shelling of Kharkiv. Journalists in the city saw damaged apartment blocks, burnt out cars and streets strewn with debris after the attacks. Ukraine's air force said that Russia had fired 85 drones overnight — fewer than in recent days. On the front line, Moscow's troops have been advancing steadily. The Russian defence ministry said on Wednesday that more units had crossed into the Dnipropetrovsk region. US President Donald Trump has been urging the two sides to strike a peace deal, but has seen little progress. Zelensky has in turn called on the West to increase the pressure on Russia with hard-hitting economic sanctions that he says would limit its capacity to wage war. He is expected to press that message with Trump and European leaders at a G7 summit in Canada, which kicks off on Sunday. Leaders from several countries across southeastern Europe were expected in the Ukrainian port city of Odesa on Wednesday, hours after it was targeted by Russian strikes. Two rounds of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have failed to yield a breakthrough in ending the war. Russia has rejected calls for an unconditional ceasefire and demanded that Ukraine give up large swathes of territory and its bid to join Nato. But the two sides agreed to swap more than 1,000 prisoners of war and hand over the bodies of dead soldiers. Ukraine said on Wednesday that Russia had handed over the corpses of 1,212 killed soldiers and was working to identify them. Russia's top negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, confirmed the handover and said Russia had received "the remains of 27 Russian soldiers." Ukraine did not say how many bodies it returned to Russia, which says Western estimates of the number of its deaths are untrue.

Russia launches deadly strike on Kharkiv amid stalled peace talks
KHARKIV, June 11 — Fresh Russian strikes on Ukraine's northeastern city of Kharkiv killed three people and wounded 60 including children early on Wednesday, authorities said, as Moscow pushed ahead with its relentless attacks after rejecting an unconditional ceasefire. Russia has fired record numbers of drones and missiles at Ukraine over recent weeks, escalating three years of daily bombardments as it outlines hardline demands—rejected by Kyiv as 'ultimatums'—to halt its invasion. The northeastern city of Kharkiv, just 30 kilometres (18 miles) from the Russian border, again bore the brunt of the attack. 'Seventeen strikes by enemy UAVs (drones) were carried out in two districts of the city tonight,' Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov said on Telegram. Kharkiv regional Governor Oleg Synegubov said three people had been killed. AFP journalists in the city saw damaged apartment blocks, burnt out cars and streets strewn with debris after the attacks. Olena Khoruzheva had run into the hallway—away from the windows—with her two children when she heard the incoming drones. 'The younger one lay on the floor, hands on his head. I was on top of him,' the 41-year-old pharmacist told AFP. 'We heard it approaching. Silence, and then we were thrown against the wall ... there were more explosions, then we heard people shouting 'Help! Help!' Her 65-year-old neighbour was one of those killed in the attack. Early on Wednesday morning, an AFP reporter saw first responders removing the body of one killed resident from a block of apartments in a black body bag. Stalled peace talks Ukraine's air force said Russia had fired 85 drones overnight—fewer than in recent days. US President Donald Trump has been urging the two sides to strike a peace deal Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has in turn called on the West to up the pressure on Russia with hard-hitting economic sanctions that he says would limit its capacity to wage war. He is expected to press that message with Trump and European leaders at a G7 summit in Canada, which kicks off on Sunday. Two rounds of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have failed to yield a breakthrough in ending the war. Russia has rejected calls for an unconditional ceasefire and demanded that Ukraine give up its territory and bid to join NATO. But the two sides agreed to swap more than 1,000 prisoners of war and hand over the bodies of dead soldiers, swapping groups of captured soldiers on Monday and Tuesday. The attacks came after Russia pummelled Kharkiv on Saturday in what Terekhov had called 'the most powerful attack' on the city since the start of the war. Kyiv has hit back with retaliatory drone strikes on Russia, with Moscow's defence ministry saying 32 Ukrainian drones were intercepted overnight. Both sides have downplayed any chance of progress at talks in Istanbul. While not rejecting diplomacy, Zelensky called it 'pointless' to hold further talks with the current Russian delegation—whom he previously dismissed as 'empty heads'—since they could not agree to a ceasefire. Russian President Vladimir Putin last week called Kyiv a 'terrorist' regime and questioned why he should negotiate with them. — AFP
