KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s drone and missile attacks on Ukraine have killed at least two people, including a 9-year-old girl. Uncertainty, meanwhile, remains around whether Kyiv diplomats will attend a new round of peace talks proposed by Moscow for early next week in Istanbul. Russia’s Ministry of Defense says it gained control of a Ukrainian village in the Donetsk region and another in the northern Sumy region. Ukrainian authorities in Sumy ordered mandatory evacuations in 11 more settlements as Russian forces make steady gains in the area.
