The attacks killed a woman and her 10-year-old son in a residential area of the eastern town of Bohodukhiv, as well as a 71-year-old man in the northern Chernihiv region, Ukrainian officials said.<\/p>\n

Another person was killed and two others wounded in the southern port city of Odesa, according to regional Governor Oleh Kiper. Residential infrastructure and a gas pipeline were also damaged in an attack on a residential building in the area, said Kiper, accusing Russia of committing \u201canother war crime \u2026 against civilians\u201d.<\/p>\n

At least nine others, including a 13-year-old girl, were wounded by drones that struck the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, according to Governor Oleksandr Hanzha.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate comment from Russia, which has denied targeting civilians deliberately since it launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbouring country in February 2022.<\/p>\n

\u2018Set the right price\u2019<\/h2>\n

Following the attacks, Ukraine\u2019s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called for the European Union to impose a complete entry ban on Russians fighting against Ukraine. \u201cThis will set the right price for the wrong choices,\u201d he wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s attacks on Ukraine have continued despite ongoing peace talks brokered by the United States<\/a> between the two sides to end the four-year-long conflict. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said US President Donald Trump\u2019s administration has set a June deadline<\/a> for Moscow and Kyiv to reach a deal.<\/p>\n

But the warring parties remain deadlocked over the future status of the eastern Ukrainian territory captured by Russia. Moscow has demanded Kyiv cede the fifth of the Donetsk region that it still controls, a proposal Ukraine has rejected.<\/p>\n

Trilateral negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks, according to Ukraine\u2019s chief negotiator, Rustem Umerov.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the United Arab Emirates extradited a man<\/a> accused of shooting Russia\u2019s deputy military intelligence chief, Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseyev, in an attempted assassination. Russia\u2019s Federal Security Service has accused Ukraine of ordering the attack.<\/p>\n

Ukraine has claimed responsibility for some previous assassinations in Russia but has denied being behind the attempt on Alekseyev\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
