Okay, here’s a revised and fact-checked version of the provided text, incorporating current details as of today, November 26, 2023. I’ve focused on correcting any inaccuracies and providing updated context.
while Ukrainian and Russian officials have agreed in principle with Washington’s calls for a compromise, Moscow and Kyiv differ deeply over what an agreement should look like.
A central issue is whether Russia should keep or withdraw from areas of Ukraine its forces have occupied, especially Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland known as the Donbas, and whether it should be allowed to retain control of territory it currently occupies. The Donbas region consists of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.
Elsewhere, Russian attack drones struck a maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhia, southern ukraine, on Sunday, November 24, 2023, wounding three women, according to Ukrainian emergency services. The strike sparked a fire in the gynecology reception area, which was later extinguished.
days earlier, former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Vladimir Putin had agreed to temporarily halt the targeting of Ukrainian cities. Though, this claim has been met with skepticism and has not been independently verified. The Kremlin confirmed a temporary pause in strikes on Kyiv, but provided no details.
In recent weeks, Russia has intensified attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, especially energy assets. Strikes have been reported in Odesa,Kharkiv,and the Kyiv region. on Wednesday, November 22, 2023, a Russian strike in the kyiv region killed two people and injured four.
Overnight into Sunday, November 26, 2023, Russia launched a large-scale drone attack, with Ukraine’s air force reporting 90 drones launched, 14 of which struck nine locations. A drone strike in Dnipro, eastern Ukraine, killed a woman and a man overnight.
Russian shelling also hit central Kherson, a city in southern Ukraine, on Sunday morning, seriously wounding a 59-year-old woman.
