The attacks came as Washington pushes for an end to the conflict, warning this would be a crucial week in determining whether to halt its peace efforts.

“Another night of Russian terror in Ukraine. Once again, enemy drones attacked ordinary residential buildings,” First Lady Olena Zelenska said.

Russian drone attacks killed a 53-year-old man in the central city of Dnipro, regional governor Sergiy Lysak said.

Fourteen people were also injured in Ukraine’s second largest city of Kharkiv, and over 30 suffered “acute stress reactions”, according to regional governor Oleg Synegubov.

Kharkiv’s mayor Igor Terekhov had previously said 39 people were injured after reporting 16 strikes on the city near the Russian border.

On the Russian side of the border, Alexander Khinshtein, the interim governor of the Kursk region, said on Telegram that drone strikes on a suburb of the town of Rylsk had left three wounded, including two who were taken to hospital.
