Russia said on Thursday that its armed forces had struck over 100 targets in Ukraine, while Ukraine reported, on the same day, that it had repelled offensives from Russia.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said in its latest report that over the past 24 hours, its forces had conducted strikes on 149 areas, including energy infrastructure serving the Ukrainian forces, assembly workshops and storage points for long-range attack drones, and temporary deployment sites of Ukraine's armed forces and foreign mercenaries. They also destroyed Ukrainian armored vehicles, field artillery, and ammunition depots. Additionally, the Russian air defense system shot down 216 fixed-wing drones belonging to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that its troops engaged in 134 combat clashes with Russian forces in the past day. They repelled dozens of Russian attacks in areas such as Pokrovsk. Their air, missile, and artillery units struck one Russian warehouse, one control point, and two major targets, and shot down 330 Russian tactical drones.

In another development, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Thursday that a Ukrainian delegation is en route to the United States to continue peace negotiations.

The talks with the U.S. negotiating team are set to take place on Friday and Saturday, with European representatives also expected to participate, Zelensky told the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.

He highlighted that the key points of contention between Ukraine and the United States include territorial issues and the use of frozen Russian assets.

Zelensky said that, should a peace agreement be reached in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine plans to use the frozen assets for reconstruction efforts. However, if hostilities persist, the funds may be directed toward supporting the Ukrainian military, bolstering defense production, and purchasing U.S.-made air defense missiles, he added.
