Russia asserts that Zelenskiy’s legitimacy is undermined by postponed elections and says the legitimacy issue must be resolved before Moscow signs any documents with Kyiv. Russian officials claim European leaders are trying to undermine progress from the US-Russia Alaska summit and criticize European talks on Ukraine’s security guarantees conducted without Moscow. Moscow rejects proposals that depart from positions set out in Istanbul in 2022. Russian overnight attacks killed one person, injured at least 18, and struck a US electronics manufacturer in western Ukraine. Ukrainian forces reported Russia used hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles, many of which were intercepted.
Putin has questioned the legitimacy of Zelenskiy due to the postponement of elections in Ukraine due to the war. Lavrov said the legitimacy issue would have to be resolved before Moscow could sign any document with Kyiv. He accused European leaders of trying to undermine progress which he said had been made at last week's US-Russia summit in Alaska on a possible peace deal in Ukraine.
A missile attack injured 15 people and destroyed storage facilities at the manufacturer in the town of Mukachevo, emergency services and local authorities in the western Zakarpattia region said. Ukraine's air force said that Russia used 574 drones and 40 missiles in overnight attacks on the country. The air force said it downed 546 drones and 31 missiles. It recorded hits at 11 locations and debris falling at three locations, according to the post on the Telegram messaging app.
