Ukraine on Saturday accused Russia of undermining negotiations to end their almost four-year war by launching fresh deadly strikes, as officials from both countries and the United States met for a second day of direct talks in Abu Dhabi.
Bombardments killed one person and injured 27 in Kyiv and the northeastern city of Kharkiv overnight, authorities said, as Ukrainian and Russian negotiators were set for a second day of talks on the latest US-brokered proposals.
“Peace efforts? Trilateral meeting in the UAE? Diplomacy? For Ukrainians, this was another night of Russian terror,” Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said.
