The US envoy Steve Witkoff has said he held constructive talks with a Russian envoy in Florida as part of Washington’s drive to end the war in Ukraine. Ganzha said the drone caused a fire, destroyed a house and caused damage to two more residences and a car. Donald Trump on Thursday claimed Vladimir Putin had agreed to halt strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for a week. In a post on social media, Zelenskyy noted Russia has turned its attention to targeting Ukrainian logistics networks. Moscow has sought to deny Ukrainian civilians heat, light and running water over the course of the war, in a strategy that Ukrainian officials describe as “weaponising winter”.
