Russian strikes in Eastern Ukraine kills 11, regional authorities say

The strike took place just one day after Ukrainian officials met with European and U.S. officials in Miami on Oct, 9 in a fresh diplomatic push to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump also announced he would temporarily lift sanctions on Russian diesel in a bid to bring soaring prices down.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized the deal on Friday and accused Trump of using the peace talks as a “smokescreen” while pursuing a deal with the Kremlin.

“This night was another confirmation that Russia perceives any easing of pressure as a signal that it is supposedly possible to continue fighting, that it is supposedly possible to drop bombs on cities,” Zelenskyy said, commenting on the strikes on Zaporizhzhia Saturday morning.
