Russian Strikes Kill at Least Three in Ukraine as EU Sanctions Push Stalls

Hungary's veto has halted the EU's 20th Russia sanctions package despite growing doubts about Moscow's seriousness in talks.

Overview

  • Local officials reported at least three deaths and multiple injuries after overnight drone and missile attacks in the Odesa region and in Zaporizhzhia.
  • Two people in the Odesa region were struck by falling drones and three others were injured, according to governor Oleg Kiper.
  • A strike on industrial facilities in Zaporizhzhia killed a 33-year-old man and wounded another person, regional authorities said.
  • EU foreign ministers in Brussels discussed a new sanctions package, with Kaja Kallas warning no progress is expected today and saying Hungary's objections are unrelated to the measures.
  • Germany's foreign minister criticized French outreach to Moscow as the wrong signal, while a Tass report of possible Geneva talks later this week remains unconfirmed by Washington and Kyiv.
