Russia-Ukraine war: Russia drone strikes on Ukraine kill one, wound ten

Russia&rsquo;s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in an interview that the Kremlin takes the US proposals on Ukraine seriously but cannot accept them as is.
Speaking to the magazine International Affairs, Ryabkov said, &ldquo;We take the proposed models and solutions very seriously, but we also cannot accept all of this as is. All that exists today is an attempt to find some kind of scheme that would allow us to initially achieve a ceasefire, as the Americans envision it.&rdquo;
The current US proposals to end the war in Ukraine do not address problems due to which Moscow caused the conflict, he said, suggesting US-Russia talks had stalled.

Ryabkov&rsquo;s comments suggest that Moscow and Washington have not succeeded in bridging the differences that President Vladimir Putin raised over two weeks ago when he said US proposals needed reworking.
US President Donald Trump is growing increasingly impatient and said he is &ldquo;pissed off&rdquo; with Putin and has spoken of imposing sanctions on countries that buy Russian oil if he feels Moscow is blocking a deal. &ldquo;As far as we can see, there is no place in them today for our main demand, namely to solve the problems related to the root causes of this conflict.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday criticised statements by White House envoy Steve Witkoff, who recently praised Russian leader Vladimir Putin and appeared to legitimise Russia's annexation of some Ukrainian regions.
The comments by Witkoff, in an interview with the right-wing podcast host Tucker Carlson, were seen in Kyiv as another sign of how far some in US President Donald Trump's administration have shifted away from Ukraine toward Russia.
"A lot of the information spread by some people and the person you mentioned... are very much in line with the messages of the Kremlin," Zelensky said, answering a question on the interview given by Witkoff.

Trump's envoy said "there's a view within the country of Russia that these are Russian territories".
He cited a series of referendums conducted by Russia in occupied territories that purported to show support for Moscow's rule, but were condemned as illegitimate by Ukraine and much of the international community.
"No one can legitimise these referendums because they were held at gunpoint," Zelensky said, adding that "no one recognises these territories as Russian".

In August last year, Ukrainian forces crossed the border into the Kursk region in a rapid offensive, hitting back against Russia following its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.&nbsp;
Since then, Russia has taken back much of the territory that was captured in the Ukrainian advance into Kursk, however, fighting there continues.

Moreover, the GRU does not usually comment on SBU statements about recruited agents. It made no public comments on Tuesday as well.
Ukraine's military reported 18 clashes on the Kursk front over the previous day.&nbsp;

Putin responded to that and said that he would spare the lives of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region if they laid down their arms.
