Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 1,192
Here's where things stand on Saturday, May 31: Eight people, including two teenagers, were injured in a Russian attack on the village of Vasyliv Khutir in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv, regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov said. The Ukrainian Air Force said that Russia launched 90 drones and two ballistic missiles against Ukraine that targeted the country's Kharkiv, Odesa and Donetsk regions. The Kharkiv region's main city came under Russian drone attack, which targeted a trolleybus depot and injured two people, the city's Mayor Ihor Terekhov said. He said more than 30 nearby apartment buildings were damaged, while one trolleybus was completely destroyed, and 18 others sustained varying degrees of damage. Ukraine has resisted US and Russian pressure to commit to attending another round of peace talks in Istanbul on Monday, saying it first needs to see Russian proposals for a ceasefire. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia 'is doing everything it can to ensure that the next potential meeting brings no results'. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the planned second round of talks between Ukraine and Russia will pave the way for peace in a phone call with Zelenskyy, according to a readout issued by the Turkish presidency. Erdogan said it is important that both parties join the talks with strong delegations. Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky will again head Russia's delegation in Istanbul for the second round of Russia-Ukraine talks and will bring a memorandum and other ceasefire proposals to the meeting. Ukraine's finance ministry has announced that it would not be paying more than half a billion dollars due to holders of its GDP warrants – fixed income securities indexed to economic growth – marking the first payment default since it created the financial instruments in 2015. Ukraine owes $665m on June 2 to holders of the $3.2bn worth of warrants, based on 2023 economic performance.
