Ukrainian strikes cut power for invading Russians
Ukrainian strikes have triggered power cuts over huge swathes of Russian-controlled territory, plunging hundreds of thousands of people into darkness. The attacks, which came after an unsuccessful second round of peace talks in Istanbul, have left entire towns and cities without electricity in the partially-occupied Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. Officials said there was no effect on operations at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe's largest nuclear station, and that radiation levels were normal. Russian-installed governors in the two regions – which are among the key areas that Moscow demands Ukraine give up in order to end the war - said authorities to introduce emergency measures to preserve power sources. Meanwhile, Russia's overnight aerial attacks killed one person in Ukraine's northeast and injured several more in the northern city of Chernihiv. It comes after Moscow and Kyiv agreed to swap thousands of their dead and seriously wounded troops, but made scant progress towards a peace settlement. Ukraine proposed further talks later this month.

One killed, several injured in Russian attacks on Ukraine: Officials
Russia's overnight attacks killed one person in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region and injured several others in the northern city of Chernihiv, Ukrainian officials said on Tuesday. A private enterprise was hit in the small town of Balakliia, near the Russian border, killing one employee and injuring several others, said Vitali Karabanov, head of the town's military administration, on Telegram. 'A massive UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] attack on the town,' Karabanov said, without detailing the scale of the strike. The attacks came just hours after Russian and Ukrainian delegations met in Turkey for peace talks, during which Moscow reiterated that it would only end the war if Kyiv surrendered more territory and accepted limitations on the size of its armed forces. Ukraine has repeatedly rejected those conditions as equivalent to surrender. In Chernihiv, falling drone debris ignited multiple fires, including at residential homes, according to Dmytro Bryzhynskyi, head of the city's military administration. Four people were hospitalized, and another 20—among them eight children—received medical assistance at the scene, Ukraine's State Emergency Service reported. Photos posted on Telegram showed firefighters battling blazes in the dark and medics attending to children. In Odesa, Russian air strikes overnight damaged residential buildings and civilian infrastructure, but no injuries were reported, Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov wrote on Telegram. The full scale of the Russian attacks was not immediately clear. There was no comment from Moscow, and Reuters could not independently verify the Ukrainian accounts. Both sides deny targeting civilians in the war that Russia launched in February 2022. However, thousands of civilians—most of them Ukrainian—have been killed since the conflict began.

One killed, several injured in Russian attacks on Ukraine, officials say
June 3 (Reuters) - Russia's overnight attacks killed one person in Ukraine's northeastern region of Kharkiv and injured several more in the northern city of Chernihiv, regional Ukrainian officials said on Tuesday. A private enterprise was hit in the small town of Balakliia in the Kharkiv region that borders Russia, killing one employee and injuring several others, Vitali Karabanov, the head of the town's military administration, said on the Telegram messaging app. "A massive UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) attack on the town," Karabanov said, without providing details of the scale. The attacks came hours after Russian and Ukrainian delegations met in Turkey for peace talks where Moscow said it would only agree to end the war if Kyiv gives up big new chunks of territory and accepts limits on the size of its army. Ukraine has repeatedly rejected the Russian conditions as tantamount to surrender. Falling drones on streets and residential buildings in the northern city of Chernihiv sparked several fires, including at residential houses, Dmytro Bryzhynskyi, the head of the city's military administration, said on Telegram. Four people were hospitalised, Bryzhynskyi said. Ukraine's State Emergency Service said another 20 people, including eight children, received medical assistance at the site. The service posted photos on its Telegram account showing firefighters battling blazes in the dark and medics attending to a group of children. In the southern port city of Odesa, Russian overnight air attacks damaged residential buildings and civilian infrastructure, but there were no injuries, Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov wrote on Telegram. The full scale of the overnight Russian attack on Ukraine was not immediately known. There was no immediate comment from Moscow and Reuters could not independently verify the Ukrainian reports. Both sides deny targeting civilians in the war that Russia launched in February 2022. But thousands of civilians have died in the conflict, the vast majority of them Ukrainian.
