‘Russia lies every day about its desire for peace': One dead as massive strike hits Ukraine hospital
One person was killed when Russia struck a maternity hospital in Ukraine, official said. Ukraine and Russia have to prisoner exchanges, not a ceasefire. Russia launched a record 479 explosive drones at Ukraine on Sunday. Russia carried out 'massive' drone attacks on Ukraine's capital Kyiv and port city of Odesa early on Tuesday, killing one person and hitting a maternity hospital, Ukrainian officials said, calling for further sanctions. Moscow has kept up its attacks on Ukraine, which has hit back with strikes deep inside Russian territory, while peace talks held over the weekend failed to yield a breakthrough towards ending the three-year war. Aside from an agreement to exchange prisoners, progress has stalled and Russia has repeatedly rejected calls for an unconditional ceasefire. 'Russia lies every day about its desire for peace and attacks people every day. Time to impose sanctions. Time to support Ukraine with weapons. Time to prove that democracy has power,' Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian presidential office, said on Telegram.

'The enemy massively attacked Odesa with strike drones. There is damage to civilian infrastructure and fires,' Kiper wrote on Telegram. The Russians hit a maternity hospital, an emergency medical ward and residential buildings. Oleg Kiper He added that the maternity hospital had been evacuated in time. In central Kiev, an AFP journalist heard at least a dozen explosions, anti-aircraft fire and the buzzing of drones. 'Stay in shelters! The massive attack on the capital continues,' Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram, adding in a separate post around 03:00 (00:00 GMT) that 'a new batch of UAVs (drones) is flying to the capital.' Four people were wounded in the attacks that hit at least seven districts, he said, with buildings and cars on fire. Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine triggered the biggest European conflict since World War II, forcing millions to flee their homes and decimating much of eastern and southern Ukraine. Ukrainian cities are targeted by Russian air strikes almost daily. On Sunday, Russia launched a record 479 explosive drones at Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. Kyiv has also carried out attacks on Russian territory, targeting transport and weapons production infrastructure. Russia's transport agency Rosaviatsia said on Tuesday that flight operations were temporarily restricted at Saint Petersburg's Pulkovo airport. Similar restrictions were imposed on at least 13 other airports overnight, with four in Moscow reopening on Tuesday. Despite efforts by US President Donald Trump to reach a ceasefire agreement, a second round of peace talks in Turkey are at a standstill. The only concrete agreement reached at the talks over the weekend was for release all seriously wounded or sick prisoners of war and those under the age of 25 - a deal that did not specify the number of soldiers involved. While welcoming POW exchanges, Zelensky said last week said it was 'pointless' to hold further talks with the current Russian delegation - who he previously dismissed as 'empty heads' - since they could not agree to a ceasefire. On Sunday, the Russian army also claimed to have attacked the Ukrainian region of Dnipropetrovsk, which borders the regions of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia, already partially under Russian control, a first in more than three years of conflict. Jose Colon/Anadolu via Getty Images 'Time for everyone to finally accept the fact that Russia understands only strikes, not rational words,' Ukraine's Yermak said on Tuesday, in a thinly veiled criticism of the Trump administration. As a condition for halting its invasion, Russia has demanded that Ukraine cede the territories Moscow claims to have annexed and forswear joining NATO. It has also rejected a proposed 30-day unconditional ceasefire sought by Kyiv and the European Union, arguing that it would allow Ukrainian forces to rearm with Western deliveries. Ukraine is demanding a complete Russian withdrawal of from its territory and security guarantees from the West, describing Moscow's demands as 'ultimatums'.

With Sirens Screeching and Explosions in the Sky, Kyiv Struggles to Sleep
The screech of air-raid sirens, the buzzing of drones, first approaching, then fading. The rattle of machine guns and the roar of air defense missiles being launched. Explosions in the sky. These are the sounds of Kyiv, night after night. Russia has kept up a steady barrage of Ukrainian cities, intensifying by the night, in recent months despite pressure from the Trump administration to work toward a cease-fire. A record number of drones and missiles have been launched, according to Ukrainian officials. The attacks have been terrifying for residents of cities like Kyiv, the capital, making a good night's sleep impossible. When the sun rises, people get up and try to shake off the stiffness in their backs from sleeping in uncomfortable positions — in corridors, bathrooms or subway stations — and fight through the fog of a sleepless night to carry on with their lives. 'All night in a shelter, the children trembled and cried,' Larysa Bilozir, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, wrote on Facebook. 'But we, the people of Kyiv — and I — are heading to work!' She added that as she wrote, her son was already at nursery school and she had arrived at Parliament to meet with visiting delegates from the Council of Europe. 'I wonder how they survived this night in Kyiv,' she wrote. Russia attacked Ukraine on Tuesday with 315 drones and seven missiles, according to Ukrainian officials, a day after another huge assault. On other nights, Russia fires more drones at different cities as part of its intensified campaign of air attacks. In Kyiv, residents described Tuesday as one of the loudest nights in the monthslong air campaign by Russia. Fires and damaged buildings were reported in seven of the capital's 10 districts. In the morning, black smoke floated over the city and ambulance sirens could be heard in the streets. In the southern city of Odesa, two people were killed and nine others injured, local officials said. The overnight barrages came a day after Russia launched almost 500 drones and missiles at Ukraine in what Ukrainian officials said was the largest such assault since the Russian invasion in early 2022. The attacks have escalated since Ukraine mounted a wave of drone strikes on strategic bombers at air bases inside Russia on June 1. The intensifying aerial assaults by Russia appear to be part of a broader campaign by Moscow to overwhelm and deplete Ukrainian air defenses as it mounts a new offensive on the ground in eastern Ukraine. The campaigns by Russia and Ukraine have come despite efforts by the Trump administration to push both sides toward a cease-fire. But talks have faltered. The latest round, this month in Istanbul, yielded little result apart from another agreement to swap prisoners. Nataliia Novosolova contributed reporting.

U.S. Teacher Seized by Russia Is Located in Prison
After months without contact, Stephen James Hubbard, a retired American teacher taken from his eastern Ukrainian home by Russian soldiers shortly after Russia invaded in February 2022, has been located in a Russian prison in Mordovia. His family had no information on his whereabouts since his criminal conviction last fall. But in recent weeks, he has been able to call one of his sons. Mr. Hubbard is the only American remaining in Russia who has been designated by the U.S. State Department as 'wrongfully detained,' an indication that the United States believes the charges against him are fabricated. Given the designation, he is likely a top candidate in any potential prisoner exchange being discussed between Russia and the United States. Mr. Hubbard, now 73, was accused of manning a checkpoint and fighting for Ukraine, and then convicted by Russia of being a mercenary last October and sentenced to almost seven years in a penal colony. After that, Mr. Hubbard's family was not able to find him in Russia's prison system. In a highly unusual move, the Russian judge removed his case file, even basic information like his lawyer's name, from public view. Documents reviewed by The New York Times show that Mr. Hubbard is being held in the IK-12 penal colony in Mordovia, the southwestern Russian region commonly referred to as 'prison land.'
