Russian missiles hit apartment buildings in Ternopil this week, far from the war’s front line. Dozens of civilians, including children, were killed.

At the site of an apartment building in western Ukraine where a Russian strike killed dozens of people, the New York Times reporter Kim Barker heard reactions to a 28-point U.S. proposal to end the war.

While the White House has cautioned that the proposal is still in “flux,” its contours reflect maximalist demands made by Russia throughout the war that Ukraine has consistently rejected.

The country’s anti-graft agencies have taken a cinematic approach to revealing a scandal that has touched President Volodymyr Zelensky’s inner circle.

Months after Ukraine’s president tried to cripple them, the agencies said they had uncovered a major scheme involving the state-owned nuclear energy company.

The attack by Russian missiles and drones targeted the capital, Kyiv, and the large cities of Dnipro and Kharkiv, as well as several smaller municipalities.

Drone teams compete to ascend a scoreboard that rewards units for successful attacks. Ukrainian officials say the contest helps keep soldiers motivated.
