These include military-industrial complexes and temporary bases of the Ukrainian armed forces. In addition, Russian air defense systems have also destroyed four Ukrainian guided aerial bombs and 160 drones.
Peace talks efforts
Despite Russia's continued aggression, peace talks are continuing. US President Donald Trump is working with both Russia and Ukraine to resolve the issue. Trump warned Russia on Friday that he would impose new sanctions if a peaceful solution is not reached within two weeks.
On the other hand, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reiterated his readiness to meet Russian President Putin in talks with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
