Kherson ceasefire extended as Russia strikes Kyiv bridge and fires 16 missiles overnight

On Tuesday, a truce first planned for stranded residents of Oleshky was extended across the Kherson region, and Russia and Ukraine say no breaches have been reported. Earlier that day Zelenskyy said Russia launched 16 ballistic missiles and more than 280 drones overnight, with at least 15 injured in Kyiv, and strikes later hit a major bridge in the capital. The leaders of Norway and Finland held a call with Putin, the first direct contact between European leaders and him in more than a year.

• Zelenskyy says the overnight attack hit the Chernihiv, Chernivtsi, Dnipro, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Odesa, Sumy, Vinnytsia and Zaporizhzhia regions as well as Kyiv.
• The White House and the Vatican give competing claims over who brokered the Oleshky ceasefire; Trump earlier credited Melania Trump.
• The US is considering lifting sanctions on Russia's flagship investment fund as Trump pursues economic incentives to end the war.
• On Monday, UN-mandated investigators said Russian authorities committed war crimes and crimes against humanity by attacking civilians and energy infrastructure.
