Russia resumed mass drone attacks in Ukraine early on Sunday, after its self-declared three-day pause expired.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he is pleased to see that Russia is engaging with finding an end to the war, but there must be a ceasefire before peace talks can start.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed holding “direct talks” with Kyiv, a move welcomed by his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky although he stressed that Moscow must agree to a ceasefire first.
