Kyiv also expects a private U.S. delegation after Orthodox Easter to explore restarting talks.

Overview

  • Following Friday's large-scale drone-and-missile barrages, Ukrainian authorities said at least 16 people were killed across several regions.
  • Regional officials reported ballistic missile strikes in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia that damaged multi-story homes and cut a gas line, and early Sunday drones set homes ablaze in Odesa and injured residents.
  • In Nikopol, a Russian strike hit a covered market on Saturday morning, killing five people and wounding 26, including a 14-year-old girl, according to the regional administration.
  • Inside Russia, local reports said Ukrainian drones hit Lukoil’s Kstovo refinery with large fires seen on video, and the Leningrad region governor said debris from downed drones damaged a pipeline near the port of Primorsk with no casualties reported.
  • Trilateral peace talks remain suspended, and Ukraine’s presidential office says a U.S. team led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner is expected in Kyiv after Orthodox Easter to try to restart negotiations.
