Russia and Ukraine have continued aerial attacks on each other, inflicting injuries and damages on each other’s citizens and resources, leaving in limbo the fate of a proposed ceasefire to the three-year-old war remained uncertain.
DAILY POST recalls that Russian President, Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that he supported in principle Washington’s proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine but that his forces would fight on until several crucial conditions were worked out.
However, both sides have reportedly traded heavy aerial strikes, and Russia moved closer on battlefield to ejecting Ukrainian forces from their months-old foothold in the western Russian region of Kursk.
According to the Russian defence ministry said on Sunday, its air defence units destroyed a total of 31 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory.
The ministry said on the Telegram messaging app that of those, 16 were downed over the southwestern region of Voronezh, nine over the territory of the Belgorod region and the rest over the Rostov and Kursk regions.
Russia’s Belgorod regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said earlier on the Telegram messaging app that in a Ukrainian drone attack on the region, three people were injured, including a 7-year-old.
He added that two of the people were injured after a drone hit their house, sparking a fire in the Gubkinsky district of the region, while the other person was injured in a drone attack on the village of Dolgoye.
Meanwhile, Alexander Gusev, governor of Voronezh, said on Telegram that there was no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The acting governor of the southern Russian region of Rostov said there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage reported there either.
Ukraine’s state of emergency service said authorities have reported several Russian drone strikes, including on the northern region of Chernihiv, where firefighters were battling a blaze at a high-rise building that was sparked by Russian drone attack.
Ukrainian media reported a series of explosions in the region surrounding the capital Kyiv, after Ukraine’s air force issued warnings of a threat of drone attacks on Kyiv and a number of other central Ukrainian regions.

Trump signs budget appropriations bill into law
President Donald Trump of the United States on Saturday signed into law a six-month funding bill, averting a government shutdown.
In a post on X, White House Spokesperson Harrison Fields said Trump signed the bill and thanked Democrats who joined Republicans to approve the continuing measure.
This comes following the passage of the bill by the Senate on Friday, a few hours ahead of a midnight deadline.
It was gathered that the vote was 54-46, with two Democrats joining all but one Republican in support of the measure.
Earlier Friday, the bill reportedly cleared a key procedural hurdle with the help of 10 Democrats in a 62-38 vote.
Sixty votes were needed to defeat a Democratic filibuster.
The votes came after a dramatic 48-hour period during which Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., broke with most House and Senate Democrats, announcing he would support moving forward on the bill one day after he declared it didn’t have the votes.
Schumer ultimately voted no on final passage of the legislation.
The bill, which cleared the House on a party-line vote earlier this week, will keep the government funded through September 30, the end of the current fiscal year.
Under pressure from his left flank and House Democrats to block the GOP funding measure, Schumer had kept his cards close to the vest about his shutdown strategy throughout the week.
However, on Thursday, Schumer said he would vote to advance the bill, giving cover to other Democrats to do the same and significantly lowering the threat of a catastrophic shutdown amid broader economic uncertainty.
While defending his decision in a floor speech Friday, Schumer warned that a shutdown would be far worse than passing the GOP bill.
He argued that outcome would give Trump, his billionaire adviser Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, even more power to slash the federal workforce and government services.
“Clearly, this is a Hobson’s choice; the CR is a bad bill. But as bad as the CR is, I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option,” Schumer said.
