Russian strikes kill eight across Ukraine; Kyiv claims 'Operation Vivaldi' gains

Russian strikes killed at least eight people across Ukraine on Sunday, hitting a market outside Kyiv and the headquarters of the country's largest mobile operator, according to Ukrainian authorities.
President Zelenskyy said the attacks contradicted Russian claims to US negotiators of preparing to de-escalate.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's military said its 'Operation Vivaldi' offensive has retaken nearly 68 square miles of territory and more than 250 prisoners around the village of Nove.
