Ukraine has condemned a fresh wave of Russian strikes overnight which killed one person and injured 23 others, as talks with the US aimed at ending the war are set to resume.<\/p>\n
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said the "brutal" attack had "hit not only our people, but also the negotiation table".<\/p>\n
Delegations from Russia, Ukraine and the US have been meeting in Abu Dhabi in the first trilateral talks since the Kremlin launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbour in 2022.<\/p>\n
A source told the BBC that some progress had been made but the key issue of territory remains unresolved.<\/p>\n
The mayor of Ukrainian capital Kyiv said one person had died and four had been wounded while Kharkiv's mayor reported that 19 people had been hurt during a sustained assault on the city in the early hours of Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
On the second day of the three-way talks in Abu Dhabi, Sybiha said the "barbaric" overnight assault proved "that Putin's place is not at the board of peace, but at the dock of the special tribunal".<\/p>\n
US President Donald Trump said last week Russian leader Vladimir Putin had accepted an invitation to join his 'Board of Peace' – an organisation focused on ending global conflicts. Putin has not confirmed this. <\/p>\n
Kyiv's mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram that three of the four people who had been injured had been hospitalised.<\/p>\n
He added that the capital's critical infrastructure had been damaged, leaving 6,000 buildings without heating.<\/p>\n
Temperatures in Ukraine are at sub-zero levels and in a statement following the assaults, President Volodymyr Zelensky said: "The main target of the Russians was the energy infrastructure."<\/p>\n
In Kharkiv, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said 19 people had been injured during the strikes in the early hours of Saturday morning. A maternity hospital and a hostel for displaced people were damaged.<\/p>\n
Russia occupies roughly 20% of Ukraine, including parts of the eastern Donbas region. The Kremlin wants Ukraine to hand over large areas of the territory. Ukraine has ruled this out.<\/p>\n
Following the first day of talks, Rustem Umerov, who is leading the Ukrainian delegation, said on social meda: "The meeting focused on the parameters for ending Russia's war and the further logic of the negotiation process aimed at advancing toward a dignified and lasting peace."<\/p>\n
