Welcome back to another week of our live coverage of the war in Ukraine and efforts to bring an end to the fighting.
Before we get into our live updates, here's what you need to know ahead of a new week.
Latest strikes
Russia has launched its third consecutive overnight attack on Kyiv, wounding one person and damaging houses in the region, according to its governor.
It follows a weekend of deadly strikes on Ukraine. Officials said at least seven people were killed in the country after Moscow launched a series of drone attacks on Saturday night.
The attacks struck the Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, Odesa and Donetsk regions, as well as the capital, Kyiv.
Kyiv's mayor Vitali Klitschko described the attack as "massive", adding emergency services were dispatched to several districts.
Three people, including a 5-year-old child, were killed and 10 others were injured in Kyiv, the city's military administration said.

Those strikes followed another attack on Friday night which killed a mother, father and daughter in the city of Zaporizhzhia, Ukrainian officials said.
Meanwhile, Russia's defence ministry said yesterday that it had shot down 59 Ukrainian drones overnight - including 29 over the region of Rostov and 20 more over Astrakhan on the Caspian Sea.
Battlefield news
Ukraine's army says it has recaptured a small village in the eastern region of Luhansk - a rare success for its forces in an area almost completely held by Russia since the start of the war.
Kyiv officials said troops had "liberated the village of Nadia" after a 30-hour operation, during which its soldiers retook one square mile of territory.
Meanwhile, in Russia's Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces led a counteroffensive last August, Kyiv's presence has been rapidly diminished.
This is likely to lead to the redeployment of Russian forces from Kursk to the frontline in eastern Ukraine, where territorial advances from either side have been slow.
Russian troops from Kursk could help Vladimir Putin's main army get closer to capturing key Ukrainian cities like Pokrovsk, handing Moscow a significantly stronger hand during future peace talks.

Peace talks
Speaking of peace talks, ceasefire negotiations are due to resume in Saudi Arabia today.
A Ukrainian delegation spoke with US officials yesterday (more on that shortly), with another round of talks scheduled today between Russian and US officials.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff yesterday expressed optimism ahead of the negotiations to end the war and said on Fox News he believed Putin wanted peace.
At the presidential level, the Kremlin has said a recent phone call that took place between Putin and Donald Trump was "a step towards a face-to-face meeting".

Trump said yesterday that efforts to stop further escalation of the war are "somewhat under control".
He also told reporters "rational discussions" with Putin and Zelenskyy are critical to negotiations.
The 'coalition of the willing'
Looking ahead at other talks, French President Emmanuel Macron is set to host a meeting of the "coalition of the willing" on Thursday, and sources told the Reuters news agency that Zelenskyy could attend.
Sir Keir Starmer has suggested the group, made up of several European and NATO countries, could provide boots on the ground in Ukraine after a ceasefire.
But Witkoff (who as a reminder is leading US ceasefire negotiations with Ukraine and Russia) yesterday described it as a "combination of a posture and a pose" in an interview with pro-Trump journalist Tucker Carlson.
He also said he had developed a "friendship" with Putin, describing him as someone who he had "spent a lot of time with" and built a "relationship" with.
He also accused the prime minister of adopting the "simplistic" notion that leaders "have all got to be like Winston Churchill".
"The Russians are going to march across Europe. I think that's preposterous. We have something called NATO that we did not have in World War Two."
