Ukraine has accused Russia of “making hollow statements about peace” while ceasefire talks take place in Saudi Arabia, as official said 74 people – including 13 children – were wounded in missile strike on the city of Sumy.
A hospital, residential area and school were heavily damaged in the attack, mayor Artem Kobzar said, with footage showing emergency services battling large plumes of black smoke.
“The enemy launched a missile strike on the city centre. Several high-rise buildings, and a school are damaged. Children were in a shelter,” regional governor Volodymyr Artiukh said at the attack site.
The attack came after ceasefire talks got underway in Saudi Arabia’sRiyadh today between Russian officials and a delegation from the Trump administration.
US envoys began simultaneous but separate talks with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia on Sunday night, with the discussions focussing on a ceasefire in the Black Sea and the terms of a halt on attacks on energy infrastructure. Talks between delegates from Kyiv and Washington will resume later on Monday.
The White House says achieving security in the Black Sea to allow the free flow of shipping is a key aim of the talks, which Russian negotiator Grigory Karasin reportedly said are progressing “creatively”.

Ukraine talks today to include territory and power plant ownership

Arpan Rai
Senior US and Ukrainian officials are set to discuss territory and the ownership of Ukraine’s power plants today as negotiators work to a agree a partial ceasefire.
While the White House has previously said it wants "energy and infrastructure" covered in an initial truce, the Kremlin declared that the agreement referred more narrowly to "energy infrastructure."
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has said he would also like to see infrastructure like railways and ports protected.
In an exchange with reporters at the White House, Donald Trump said territorial lines and the potential for US ownership of a key nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine have been part of the talks.
Last week, he floated the idea of the US taking control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
The six-reactor facility – one of the world's largest – was seized by Russia early in the war.
"Some people are saying the United States should own the power plant – work it that way because we have the expertise" to get the plant operating, Mr Trump said. "Something like that would be fine with me,” he said.

Ukraine sees Russian effort to sow chaos as cyberattack hits rail service

A powerful cyberattack knocked out the online ticketing system for Ukraine’s state railway service, causing long queues at stations on Monday in what Kyiv officials said appeared to be a Russian attempt to “destabilise” the situation.
Blaming the cyberattack on the “enemy”, officials said rail travel had not been affected but that work was still under way to restore the online ticketing system more than 24 hours after the hack.
An outage was first reported on Sunday when the rail company notified passengers about a failure in its IT system and told them to buy tickets on-site or on trains.
“The latest attack was very systemic, unusual and multi-level,” rail company Ukrzaliznytsia said.
A Ukrainian security official and a senior government source, both of whom were speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that the attack looked like it had been carried out by Russia.
“It was some hacker group. We think that they are Russians. It is a strong strike but not critical,” the government source said.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff praises ‘super smart’ Putin

Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff has praised Russian president Vladimir Putin as “super smart”, as talks over a ceasefire in Ukraine get underway in Saudi Arabia.
Ahead of Sunday’s discussions in Riyadh, Mr Witkoff – a former real estate mogul tasked by Mr Trump with leading negotiations on Ukraine’s future – met with Mr Putin in Moscow for a second time on Thursday for talks on ending the war.
Speaking to far-right commentator Tucker Carlson in an interview broadcast on Friday, Mr Witkoff said he “liked” the Russian president, who he described as “gracious”. He added: “I don't regard Putin as a bad guy. He’s super smart.”
And in remarks that will do little to assuage European fears that the White House is increasingly parroting Kremlin propaganda, Mr Witkoff claimed the “elephant in the room” in peace talks is whether Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky can acknowledge Moscow’s claimed right to Crimea and four “Russian-speaking” regions in eastern Ukraine.
Despite being unable to name two of the four mainland regions – which Mr Putin partly occupies, and attempted to illegally annex following sham referenda in September 2022 – and using the Russian name for a third, Mr Witkoff said he believed the “central issue” in the conflict was whether Ukraine would relent control of them to Moscow.

A group of Republican and Democratic US senators is pushing Donald Trump’s administration to transfer more than $300bn of seized Russian assets to help Ukraine, rather than just use the debt’s interest to support Kyiv.
“How does the Administration view using all financial tools at its disposal to increase pressure on Russia to end the war?” the senators asked in a letter sent to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Reuters reported.
“Specifically, does the Administration believe that U.S. and EU-held assets should be used as leverage in negotiations with Russia to bring an end to the war? If so, how?” the letter asked.
The letter was signed by Republicans Todd Young and Lindsey Graham, and Democrats Richard Blumenthal and Tim Kaine.
Austria uncovers Russian disinformation campaign, security service says

Austria's DSN domestic intelligence agency says it has uncovered an extensive Russian disinformation campaign centred around a Bulgarian national accused of spying and disseminating false information about Ukraine.
The DSN said the unnamed woman had acknowledged working on behalf of Russia, especially in 2022 when Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine, to turn public opinion in favour of Russia and against Kyiv.
A spokesperson for the Vienna prosecutor's office said that, despite its request to formally place the woman in custody when she was detained in December, a regional court had let her go. She was not currently under arrest, the office said.
A Vienna district court spokesperson said that while a judge had confirmed she was suspected of the crime, the arrest order was denied because the suspect had assured the court that she would not try to evade proceedings.
In a search of the woman’s home in an undisclosed location in Austria, the DSN said its investigators had found evidence of a group working for Russian secret services since shortly after the invasion of Ukraine.
It said the group executed an extensive disinformation campaign for German-speaking countries focusing on Austria. The campaign, it said, included “activities in the media landscape” and offline activity that included graffiti and stickers.
“The spread of false narratives, fake news and manipulative content undermines trust in our institutions and jeopardises social cohesion,” said senior Austrian interior ministry official Joerg Leichtfried.

Labour MP criticises Trump envoy over 'offensive and inaccurate' claim

A Labour MP has criticised Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff after he propagated the “offensive and inaccurate” Kremlin claim that Ukraine is a “false country”.
In his lengthy interview with far-right commentator Tucker Carlson, Mr Witkoff said it was “correct” that, from the Kremlin’s perspective, annexed Crimea and four mainland Ukrainian territories partly occupied by Moscow should be part of Russia, calling questions over whether Ukraine will cede these territories “the elephant in the room”.
He told Carlson: “There's a sensibility in Russia that Ukraine is just a false country, that they just patched together in this sort of mosaic, these regions, and that's what is the root cause, in my opinion, of this war, that Russia regards those five regions as rightfully theirs since World War Two, and that’s something nobody wants to talk about.”
In comments to The Independent, Labour MP David Taylor said: “Having visited Ukraine twice since the outbreak of the war, the idea that the sovereign nation is a ‘false country’ is both offensive and inaccurate. Not least because a ‘false country’ would not be able to fend off an adversary with a military five times larger than its own.
“The Ukrainian people are the most resilient, brave and steadfast I have met. Ukrainian troops are on the frontline defending not just Ukraine’s future, but the West’s. Putin’s tyranny knows no borders, he poses a real and direct threat to Europe.”

The electronic hum in the sky above told him that the Russians were on a hunting safari and that he was the prey. Leaping from his bicycle, Oleksandr left its wheels spinning as he bolted through a hole in a fence hoping to find cover.
Horrified to discover he was still in the open air, he threw himself against the fence, hoping to blend in, to somehow hide. The drone tracked sideways, hung above him, and dropped its bomb.
The explosion tore a chunk of his leg away.
“He was hovering above me. I had a feeling that he was playing a computer game, dropping bombs on peaceful civilians,” Oleksandr Sensky said from the hospital where he is recovering in Kherson.

Everything we know so far about the US-led talks peace talks in Riyadh

In the grand rooms of Riyadh's Ritz-Carlton hotel, a US delegation has been deployed for an intense round of diplomacy with officials from Moscow and Kyiv.
With Russia-US discussions ongoing and a second round of Ukraine-US talks to come later in the day, here’s everything we know so far.
- Ukraine and US officials met last night. Defence minister Rustem Umerov hailed the talks as “productive and focussed”, as the delegations prepare to meet again today.
- Talks between Moscow and the US began today, and were described as “creative” by a Russian negotiator, during a break after three hours of negotiations.
- Along with a ceasefire on energy infrastructure and the prospect of longer-term peace, Washington is seeking to achieve a Black Sea ceasefire in the intense round of diplomacy. This would ensure safe navigation for commercial vessels in the Black Sea.
- The Russian side has been playing down the possibility of ceasefire talks moving quickly. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that many aspects of a peace deal are yet to be sorted, while Moscow’s Foreign Ministry said current negotiations “should not be expected to produce a breakthrough”.
- Russia’s delegation is being led by 70-year-old security service advisor Sergei Beseda, and 75-year-old Grigory Karasin, a career diplomat and former ambassador to Britain.
- Sources close to Donald Trump have told the Telegraph that he will begin to get “frustrated” if Russia and Ukraine both continue bombing energy infrastructure - accusations they have both levelled at each other.
- Vladimir Putin earlier discussed the ongoing talks in Riyadh with his counterpart from the United Arab Emirates, President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, according to state media.

Ukraine ceasefire: What is being discussed in US-Russia talks as Trump pushes for truce by Easter?

Alex Croft
Officials from Russia are holding ceasefire talks with a US delegation in Saudi Arabia, as Donald Trump reportedly pushes to secure a truce in time for Easter.
Kyiv’s delegation sat down with Washington’s team in Riyadh on Sunday night, and Moscow is following suit on Monday – in what are believed to be the first such parallel peace talks since the early days of Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion in 2022.
After three years of brutal warfare, US officials have said that Mr Trump hopes to secure a ceasefire deal by 20 April, a symbolic date on which both Western and Orthodox celebrations of Easter will overlap this year.
However, the Kremlin appeared to temper any hopes of a swift truce ahead of the Riyadh talks, with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov warning that progress on a deal was unlikely as it was “only the beginning” of what would be “difficult” negotiations. On Monday, the Kremlin said there are still many different aspects that need to be worked out over a peace deal.
Washington, meanwhile, has flattered Putin, with special envoy Steve Witkoff praising him as “super smart” and “not a bad guy”.
Andy Gregory takes a look at what to expect from the US-led talks in Saudi Arabia:

Heavy black smoke and fires could be seen in the background, as well as a car with shattered windows. Smoke also rose from the upper floors of a five-storey residential block nearby.
Sumy, about 30 km (18.6 miles) from the Russian border, as well as the surrounding region, is subject to constant drone and missile strikes by Russia.

What is being discussed in Saudi Arabia? Western sanctions and elections

,
Alex Croft, Andy Gregory
As we reported earlier today, Russia-US talks in Saudi Arabia are set to cover topics including a partial ceasefire over energy infrastructure and the Black Sea, Nato membership, and more.
But one of Moscow’s key demands has been an easing of Western sanctions on Russia - something which the White House appears to have softened its stance on in recent months.
Vladimir Putin also wants to see presidential elections in Ukraine.
Kyiv has not held any elections since 2019 because of wartime martial law, which prohibits holding elections. Ukrainian officials also say that holding an election during the war would be impossible in practice, given many citizens live under Russian occupation. Mr Trump last month lashed out at Mr Zelensky as a “dictator”, enraging Washington’s allies.
Since Mr Trump returned to the White House in January, sources say his administration has been studying ways it could ease sanctions if Moscow agrees to end the war. However, this month Mr Trump also raised the prospect of imposing large-scale banking curbs and tariffs on Russia until peace is achieved.

More than 50,000 Ukrainian troops have been trained in the UK over the past two-and-a-half years, as Kyiv mobilised the male civilian population for the war effort against Russia.
Recent data shows that a small number of them - less than 1 per cent - went missing during these training periods and claimed asylum in the UK, Ukrainska Pravda reported.
"A small number out of more than 52,000 soldiers trained with us over the past two and a half years have fled. It’s less than 1%. The vast majority of fighters who come to us are highly motivated and dedicated to their mission,” said Operation Interflex commander Colonel Andy Boardman, who led the British operation to train Ukrainian troops.
Ukraine’s military command said only two soldiers went AWOL to claim asylum in 2024, and 12 more have done so since the beginning of 2025.
