Ukrainian girl killed and another hurt in Russian missile attack
A Russian missile has hit a front-line region in Ukraine, killing a child and injuring another, as uncertainty remains as to whether Kyiv diplomats will attend a new round of peace talks proposed by Moscow for early next week in Istanbul. Russian troops launched some 109 drones and five missiles across Ukraine overnight and into Saturday, the Ukrainian air force said. Three of the missiles and 42 drones were destroyed by air defences while another 30 drones failed to reach their targets without causing damage, it said. A nine-old girl was killed in a strike on the front-line village of Dolynka in the Zaporizhzhia region, and a 16-year-old was injured, Zaporizhzhia's governor Ivan Fedorov said. Today, during the visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye to Ukraine we discussed diplomacy, all the real opportunities that exist and those that must be created. I also had a good meeting with U.S. Senators Graham and Blumenthal. I thank them for their support of… — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) May 30, 2025 'One house was destroyed. The shockwave from the blast also damaged several other houses, cars and outbuildings,' Mr Fedorov wrote on Telegram. Meanwhile, 14 people were injured after Ukrainian drones struck apartment buildings on Saturday in the Russian town of Rylsk and the village of Artakovo in the western Kursk region, local acting governor Alexander Khinshtein said. Four children were among those injured in the two attacks, which also sparked several fires, he said. On Friday, Andrii Yermak, a top adviser to Ukraine's president, said Kyiv was ready to resume direct peace talks with Russia in Istanbul on Monday but that the Kremlin should provide a promised memorandum setting out its position on ending the more than three-year war, before the two delegations sit down to negotiate. Speaking late on Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia was 'undermining diplomacy' by withholding the document. 'For some reason, the Russians are concealing this document. This is an absolutely bizarre position. There is no clarity about the format,' Mr Zelensky wrote on Telegram. Moscow previously said it would share its memorandum during the talks.

Ukraine allegedly targets Russia's Kursk Oblast in missile attack, Russian official claims
Editor's note: This is a developing story and is being updated Three were injured in Russia's Kursk Oblast when the town of Rylsk was allegedly struck by a missile attack on May 11, local governor Alexander Khinshtein claimed. Ukraine regularly strikes military targets within Russia as Moscow continues to wage its war against Ukraine. Russian President acknowledged on April 30 that Ukrainian soldiers remain in Kursk Oblast. "According to preliminary information, three people were injured. All were taken to the Rylsk Central Regional Hospital," Khinshtein said. A hotel entrance was damaged as a result of the impact from a missile, the local governor claimed. "The blast wave also damaged two cars and two private homes: windows were knocked out, the roof and garage were damaged. Three more cars were cut by shrapnel," Khinshtein said. Ukraine has not officially commented on the reported strikes, and the Kyiv Independent could not independently verify claims made by Russian officials. President has said he will travel to Istanbul for peace talks on May 15 in response to Putin rejecting a ceasefire proposal and instead suggesting peace talks between Ukraine and Russia should continue. Ukraine has insisted on a full 30-day unconditional ceasefire before peace talks begin. "We expect a ceasefire from tomorrow — this proposal is on the table. A complete and unconditional ceasefire — long-term, to provide the necessary basis for diplomacy — could bring peace much closer," Zelensky said.
