Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine continues, with Russian forces launching new attacks on key front-line cities in the east. A six-year-old boy was killed in Russian shelling in the Kherson region, according to Ukrainian officials.

Kyiv claims to have downed 17 out of 22 Russian drones attacking its territory overnight. However, the Russian military has denied these claims.
