Ukraine attack on Tatarstan kills one, hurts 13: Russia
One person has been killed and 13 others wounded in a Ukrainian drone attack in Russia's Tatarstan region, local authorities say.
Regional governor Rustam Minnikhanov said the drone was destroyed but falling debris ignited a fire and struck a vehicle manufacturing plant in the Yelabuga district, about 1200km from the frontline.
Ukraine's military said it had hit a Russian drone factory in the city of Yelabuga.
The Ukrainian General Staff did not say how it had struck the target.
It said on the Telegram platform that the facility was used to produce, test and launch drones at Ukraine, in particular against energy and civil infrastructure.
Russia's defence ministry said it shot down six Ukrainian drones overnight.
Russia launched 183 drones and decoys, along with 11 missiles, at Ukraine overnight, according to the Ukrainian air force, which said its air defences destroyed 111 drones and eight missiles while another 48 drones were jammed.
Officials in the Poltava region said the overnight attack damaged energy and agricultural infrastructure but there were no casualties.
Continuing a renewed battlefield push along eastern and northeastern parts of the more than 600-mile front line, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Sunday that its troops captured another village in the Donetsk region, Malynivka.
The Ukrainian military had no immediate comment on the Russian claim.
The continued attacks came a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump held a lengthy call, during which Trump said that he pressed Putin to end the war in Ukraine.
In other developments, Russia repatriated more bodies of fallen soldiers in line with an agreement reached during peace talks in Istanbul between Russian and Ukrainian delegations, Russian officials said on Sunday, cited by Russian state media.
The officials said Ukraine did not return any bodies to Russia on Sunday.
Ukraine's Co-ordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War confirmed in a statement that Russia returned 1200 bodies.
The agreement to exchange prisoners of war and the bodies of fallen soldiers was the only tangible outcome of the June 2 Istanbul talks.
The first round of the staggered exchanges took place on Monday.

Russia wants to mediate on Iran, accept Tehran uranium
Russia remains ready to act as a mediator in the conflict between Israel and Iran, and Moscow's previous proposal to store Iranian uranium in Russia remains on the table, the Kremlin said on Monday. Tehran says it has the right to peaceful nuclear power, but its swiftly-advancing uranium enrichment program has raised fears in the wider West and across the Gulf that it wants to develop a nuclear weapon. Moscow has previously offered to store enriched uranium from Iran and convert it into civilian reactor fuel as a potential way to calm the crisis. "This proposal remains on the table, it remains relevant. But, of course, with the outbreak of hostilities, the situation has become seriously complicated," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. US President Donald Trump expressed optimism on Sunday that peace would come soon and cited the possibility that Russian President Vladimir Putin could help. Russia, Peskov said, remained ready to mediate if needed, but he noted the root causes of the conflict needed to be addressed and eliminated - and that the military strikes were escalating the entire crisis to beyond serious levels. "Russia remains ready to do everything necessary to eliminate the root causes of this crisis," Peskov said. "But the situation is escalating more than seriously, and, of course, this is not affecting the situation for the better." Asked about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks to Fox News on Sunday that regime change in Iran could be a result of Israel's military attacks, Peskov said that the Kremlin had seen the remarks. "You know that we condemn those actions that have led to such a dangerous escalation of tension in the region," Peskov said. "And secondly, we also note a significant consolidation of society in Iran against the background of the bombing that is currently being carried out by the Israeli side."

Canada is good middle ground for Albanese to meet Trump
Australia has reason to be thankful that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's first meeting with US President Donald Trump is not taking place in Washington. Trump is fond of having visiting political leaders pay court in the White House. He has been suitably gracious to some, but his unpredictability when meeting friendly allies means things can go horribly wrong, as when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky went to the Oval Office in March only to be humiliated, bullied and sent packing. Australia has maintained close links with the US for generations, but Trump's unpredictable nature does not guarantee he will extend the hand of friendship when he meets Albanese at this week's Group of Seven meeting in Kananaskis, Canada. That said, Trump certainly behaves when overseas: he holstered his bravado when subsequently meeting Zelensky at Pope Francis' funeral in Rome. But the US president will also be mindful that he is visiting the land of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who achieved a remarkable comeback victory for the governing Liberals in April by partly positioning himself for a global role as a champion of multilateralism against Trump's more protectionist policies. Carney is not only building a coalition of like-minded countries to counterbalance Trump's shadow-boxing on long-standing arrangements, but the cornerstones in his successive campaign were the US president's ill-considered threat to annex Canada and make it the 51st state and his opponent's Trumpian policies. Trump's bluster vanished when the pair met at the White House recently, and the host was all sweetness and light. 'He won a very big election in Canada, and I think I was probably the greatest thing that happened to him,' Trump said. 'But I can't take full credit.' Loading Albanese met Carney on Monday and emerged saying he defined success with Trump as being able to argue Australia's case. The two men meet later this week at a time when there are an unusual number of sticking points in the once smooth Australia-US relationship. Their meeting comes after US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth called for Australia to increase defence spending to 3.5 per cent of GDP – a potential increase of about $40 billion annually and nearly double the current level of 2 per cent – and after US Under Secretary of Defence for Policy, Elbridge Colby, announced a review of the AUKUS submarine pact last week. Admirably, Albanese parried such crude attempts at brinkmanship and strongman tactics.
