Russia and Ukraine launched overnight drone strikes against each other as the US confirmed American officials were set to meet Russian representatives in Abu Dhabi as part of efforts to end the war.
Officials in Kyiv said at least six people had been killed in Russian strikes on the city, while Russian officials said at least three had been killed in a Ukrainian strike in the Rostov region.
The latest attacks come after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed proposed changes to the controversial 28-point US peace plan.
On Sunday, US and Ukrainian officials met in Geneva to discuss the draft plan, which had been criticised by leaders in Kyiv and Europe as too favourable to Russia.
It appears Ukraine's European allies produced an amended version of the plan after rejecting parts which favoured Russia's war aims.
