Russia fired a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones at Ukrainian cities overnight, officials said Thursday, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Moscow of hesitating over another round of U.S.-brokered talks to halt the fighting.
Washington has proposed further negotiations next week between Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Miami or Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, which was the location of the last meeting, Zelenskyy said late Wednesday.
Ukraine "immediately confirmed" it would attend, he said. "So far, as I understand it, Russia is hesitating," Zelenskyy told reporters in a messaging app interview late Wednesday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday that another round of talks was expected "soon" but gave no further details.
American officials did not comment on the possibility of further talks as part of a yearlong peace effort by the Trump administration.
