Russian attacks on western Ukraine killed one person and wounded multiple others on Thursday as diplomatic efforts to end the three-year war continues.
The latest cross-border fire follows Trump’s flurry of diplomacy this month aimed at ending the war.
Moscow and Kyiv have kept up their aerial attacks on each other as world leaders including US President Donald Trump push for a ceasefire.
‘One person was killed and two were wounded as a result of the combined UAV and cruise missile strike in Lviv,’ said Maksym Kozytskyi, head of the regional military administration.
‘Dozens of residential buildings were damaged,’ he added in a Telegram post.
Russian fire also wounded 12 people in the city of Mukachevo, near the border with Hungary and Slovakia, the city council said.
‘Five patients are being treated in the hospital, and one more was transferred to the regional hospital,’ the council wrote on Facebook.
Russia’s defence ministry said it destroyed ’49 Ukrainian aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles’ across multiple regions.
The ministry did not detail any casualties or damage.
With missiles incoming, Ukrainians believe West’s peace talks is ‘a road to no-where’.
