Earlier on Sunday, regional officials said Russian attacks on a maternity hospital and a residential building in the southeastern city of Zaporozhye wounded at least nine people.

The attacks came days after U.S. President Donald Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed to temporarily halt attacks on Ukraine’s capital, Kiev, and other cities as freezing temperatures caused widespread hardship for Ukrainians.

The Kremlin confirmed on Friday that it had agreed to suspend attacks on Kiev until Sunday, but did not reveal any further details.

Russia and Ukraine held trilateral talks with the United States in the United Arab Emirates capital Abu Dhabi last month and are expected to hold a second round of talks this month as Washington continues pressure to end their nearly four-year war.

While Ukrainian and Russian officials agree in principle with Washington’s compromise demands, Moscow and Kiev are deeply divided over what a deal should look like.

A central question is whether Russia should retain or withdraw from areas of Ukraine occupied by its troops, particularly Donbas, the industrial center of eastern Ukraine, and whether it should acquire land it has not yet captured.
