Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday called for more sanctions against Russia as overnight strikes killed at least 14 people and wounded dozens more, days ahead of talks between US and Ukrainian negotiators aimed at securing a truce.

A Russian assault hit the centre of Dobropillia in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region late on Friday, killing 11 people and wounding 30, according to the emergency services.

Separately, three people were killed and seven others wounded in a drone attack early on Saturday in the city of Bogodukhiv, the military head of the eastern Kharkiv region, Oleg Synegubov, said.

Russia fired two missiles and 145 drones at Bogodukhiv, Ukraine’s air force said.

The overnight air raids came after US president Donald Trump threatened new sanctions and tariffs on Russia but said it may be ‘easier’ to work with Moscow than Kyiv on efforts to end the three-year-long war.

‘Such strikes show that Russia’s goals are unchanged. Therefore, it is very important to continue to do everything to protect life, strengthen our air defence, and increase sanctions against Russia,’ Zelensky wrote on the Telegram social media channel.

In Dobropillia, AFP saw charred residential buildings, flattened market stalls and evidence of cluster bomb damage.

Zelensky said that Russia had struck Dobropillia, waited until rescuers arrived and then ‘deliberately’ targeted them as well. ‘This is a despicable and inhumane tactic of intimidation that the Russians often use.’

US and Ukrainian negotiators are due to meet in Saudi Arabia next week with bilateral relations frayed.

Trump publicly berated Zelensky during a White House meeting and suspended US aid to Kyiv in a stated bid to encourage diplomacy.

‘I’m finding it more difficult frankly to deal with Ukraine and they don’t have the cards,’ Trump said on Friday. ‘It may be easier dealing with Russia.’

The remarks followed Trump on Friday threatening new sanctions and tariffs on Russia over its bombardments of Ukraine.

‘To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late,’ he added.

Zelensky is due to land in Saudi Arabia on Monday for talks with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The meeting is a day before Ukrainian officials are expected to hold fresh talks with their US counterparts on Tuesday there.

On Saturday, Russia said it had retaken three villages in its Kursk region previously captured by Ukraine.

The Russian defence ministry announced the recapture of Viktorovka, Nikolayevka and Staraya Sorochina.

Ukrainian soldiers launched an offensive in Kursk last summer but Russia has wrested back control of more than two-thirds of the territory captured by Kyiv.

Moscow’s defence ministry on Saturday said its air defence systems destroyed 31 Ukrainian drones over the past night.

A Ukrainian drone attack also targeted Russia’s Kirishi oil refinery, with air defence forces shooting down one drone on approach and another over the facility, Leningrad governor Aleksandr Drozdenko said, adding that the ‘external structure of one of the reservoirs was damaged by falling debris’.

A civilian was wounded by a drone attack in Belgorod district near the Ukraine border, local governor Vyacheslav Gladkov wrote on Telegram.

Russia’s defence ministry confirmed on Friday that it had carried out ‘precision’ strikes on energy facilities.

The Ukrainian air force said it had deployed French Mirage fighter jets—delivered to Ukraine last month—for the first time to repel the aerial onslaught.

Ukrainian energy facilities in the Black Sea region of Odesa and the central Poltava region were damaged.

The latest air raids came after EU leaders, shaken by the prospect of US disengagement, agreed to boost the bloc’s defences.​

Fibre Optic FPV drones are a recent Russhiand innovation. Before the FPV revolution Iran gave them its Meraj/ Rizvan drone series which Putin rebranded as the Lancet.

Then they were given the S-136 and the Arash and the 313/ 110 mijjhiles and now since the last year the Fatah-360 mijjhiles.

Kya hae Russhiandz k paas that you know and I mysteriously don't?

We know arty/ MBRLs can't shoot beyond 25km's max......Thats like just front line exchange of army battles basically no? Rhusshians AF totally grounded for three years, scared to even take off bhai.......same same with their rotary winged air corps.

Bhalaack Sea fleet neutered by Sea borne UK supplied drones. Port say bahar nikalna is fraught with danger.

Kya weapon hae? konsa weapon hae that Rhusshiundzz is mysteriously using that we are unaware about?
 
Fiberoptic waalon ke bhot vids dekhey, hunting troops in the trenches, taking out technicals etc.

Yes, arty and tanks, rockets done max damage, ToS-1 Buratino type also burnt down a ton of xhit I'll bet.

Chalo, Iran ka bhi valuable contribution raha hai maybe but as usual you giving them hur cheez ka credit wtf :LOL:

Bhai Russhiandz had no drones at all! I mean they had nothing at all. Initially they used airpower like chewntiye and got chewed up quick!

Then they tried full frontal assaults like WW2 style jungli guddhay and again horrendous casualties.

The Uki arms depots/ storage, barracks, assembly areas, Nato warehouses, air/ helio/ logistics bases, power plants, refineries, oil n gas storage areas and ports/ docks all got pounded by tens of thousands of Irani supplied munitions, cuz the Russians had very expensive solutions to target them no?

Imam Putin got schooled on how to fight the west, cuz Irans been doing it for far too long.

You can't use a $2 million dollar Kalibre cruise missile to target a warehouse in Kiev repeatedly. Or $5 million dollar Iskundurr's to target air bases or factories on a daily basis.

You use 10,000 S-136's @$3k each and 5,000 F-313/ 100 missiles at $20k each to do it.
