A Russian missile strike damaged a school and a hospital in Ukraine yesterday, wounding at least 74 people, as US and Russian officials discussed a narrow proposal for a ceasefire at sea in the hope it could lead to wider peace talks.
The talks in Saudi Arabia, where a Ukrainian delegation was present on the sidelines, so far have only modest objectives but are being presented by Washington as a step in US president Donald Trump’s effort to end the three-year-old war.
