In the latest developments, Ukrainian officials reported that overnight strikes targeted regions such as Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Lviv, resulting in at least one fatality and numerous injuries. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha emphasized the urgency of diplomatic efforts and reinforced air defenses in the wake of these attacks. Facing mounting pressure for peace talks, President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested neutral locales including Switzerland and Turkey and urged U.S. mediation following a recent summit between President Trump and President Putin. Despite Hungary's offer to host negotiations, skepticism remains regarding its impartiality due to Prime Minister Viktor Orban's close ties with Moscow. Meanwhile, as Russian troops consolidate along the southern front, Ukrainian air defenses reportedly intercepted a majority of the aerial assaults, though several strikes inflicted significant damage, including on an American electronics facility.
