Moscow claims to have intercepted over 700 Ukrainian aerial weapons in recent clashes, while Kyiv reports civilian casualties and infrastructure damage from Russian strikes on Kyiv. Despite ongoing military escalation, both sides express openness to peace talks amid continued diplomatic efforts involving the US.
