Russia says it received Ukraine's draft memorandum on peace
MOSCOW / ISTANBUL: A senior Russian official said on Sunday that Moscow has received Ukraine's draft memorandum outlining a possible peaceful resolution of the ongoing conflict, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. Putin's adviser, Vladimir Medinsky, who would head the Russian delegation during peace talks in Istanbul on Monday, told Russia Today that the document was submitted in both Ukrainian and English languages. 'The Russian delegation previously received a version of the memorandum concerning a peaceful resolution from Ukraine,' Medinsky said. He added that the language of the document was not an issue and noted that key points had already appeared in Western media. Medinsky also said Russia would announce its stance on the Ukraine issue on Monday. On Sunday, Ukraine's president said that his government will strive to achieve 'at least some progress on the path toward peace' during talks set to take place in Istanbul, despite not receiving any ceasefire memorandum from Russia.

Russia says shot down 162 Ukrainian drones overnight
MOSCOW: Russia intercepted 162 Ukrainian drones overnight, the Russian defence ministry said on Monday, hours before Kyiv and Moscow were to start a second round of direct talks in Turkey. 'Air defence systems intercepted and destroyed 162 Ukrainian drones' between 1710 GMT and 2300 GMT on Sunday, the ministry said in a statement. The majority of the drones were shot down over regions bordering Ukraine, with 57 intercepted over the Kursk region and 31 over the Belgorod region, it said. The barrage came hours before Ukrainian and Russian delegations were to sit down for talks in Istanbul, the second round of direct talks between the two sides since the weeks after Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022. It also came a day after Kyiv said it carried out one of its most brazen and successful attacks on Russian soil, hitting dozens of strategic bombers parked at airbases deep inside Russia, thousands of kilometres behind the frontline.

Russian attacks kill five in Zaporizhzhia, injure several in Kharkiv, regional officials say
Local resident Lyudmila Tsinkush leaves her house that was damaged in a Russian drones strike, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, June 1, 2025. REUTERS/Thomas Peter (Reuters) -Russian shelling and air attacks killed five people outside the southeastern Ukraine city of Zaporizhzhia, while a drone attack on the northeast region of Sumy injured at least six early on Monday, including two children, regional officials said. Ivan Fedorov, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said three women died in a series of Russian shelling incidents targeting the village of Ternuvate, east of Zaporizhzhia late on Sunday. A shop and several homes were badly damaged. A man died in a nearby district in a Russian strike by a guided aerial bomb, Fedorov said. A total of nine people were injured in the Russian attacks and a private home was destroyed. Two children were among those injured in a Russian drone attack on the Sumy region, Oleh Sinehubov, the governor of the region, said on Monday on Telegram. "A 7-year-old boy is among the victims," Sinehubov said. He added that several buildings throughout the regions were damaged. The attacks come as both Russia and Ukraine are about to meet for a round of peace talks, trying to find a way to end the war that Russia launched with a full-scale invasion on its smaller neighbour more than three years ago.
