  • Ukraine’s interior minister reported at least eight dead, including two children, and at least 45 injured, with rescue operations continuing and the toll expected to rise.
  • President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine is seeking venues in Turkey, Gulf states and Europe for direct talks with Putin and plans meetings with U.S. representatives in New York this week.
