Russian Strikes Partially Close Three Kyiv Bridges, Disrupting Traffic

Russian aerial attacks forced the partial closure of three bridges over the Dnipro River in Kyiv on Friday, causing traffic chaos in the Ukrainian capital, according to the city's mayor. This marks Moscow's latest tactic to disrupt daily life in Kyiv. Ukraine's foreign minister said Kyiv received separate partial truce proposals from the US, India, Turkey, and Egypt, envisioning halts to attacks on energy infrastructure and Black Sea shipping. Kyiv is ready to accept a ceasefire combining both elements, but Russia has rejected a temporary truce. The strikes are part of intensified aerial warfare amid a deadlocked front line. Ukraine reported progress against Russian forces, and President Zelenskyy appealed for tighter sanctions on Russia, citing foreign components in its drones and missiles.
