Russia's deputy foreign minister said discussions are ongoing about a potential summit between Vladimir Putin, Volodymyr Zelensky, and Donald Trump, though no agreement has been reached. The topic was raised during a meeting between US envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin in St. Petersburg, but Russian officials said there is no clear understanding yet. Meanwhile, Zelensky reported 21 ballistic missiles struck Kyiv overnight, damaging a monastery and metro infrastructure. Zelensky criticized Witkoff's description of Putin as "compassionate," noting attacks hit 12 Ukrainian regions, killing two and wounding 34. Russia reported intercepting 630 drones targeting Moscow, while forced evacuations of families with children were ordered in Donetsk region.
