Russia and Ukraine are both claiming battlefield successes in their ongoing war, with Ukraine reporting pushing back Russian forces in some areas, while Russia insists its invasion is progressing. Simultaneously, Russia continues its aerial attacks on Ukrainian civilian areas, including a strike on Sloviansk that killed four and wounded at least 16. Overnight drone strikes on other Ukrainian cities wounded at least 17 more. Ukraine claims to have intercepted the majority of drones launched by Russia. US-brokered talks between the two countries are currently stalled, reportedly due to the US focusing on the conflict involving Iran.
