CNBC reports that Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy both said on Thursday they were open to peace negotiations. Strikes continued overnight regardless. CNBC describes the strikes as going both ways between Russia and Ukraine. ABC News also reports strikes on both capitals.

Russia attacked Kyiv with missiles and drones, Zelenskyy said, according to ABC News. The BBC reports the missiles came in three waves. It says they followed a Russian statement that it was "ready in principle" to resume talks with the US and Ukraine.

The Guardian reports at least two people were killed in Kyiv and 22 wounded, four of them children. It says targets included the southern bridge over the Dnipro River, homes, energy infrastructure, an ambulance station, office buildings and a monastery. It says twelve regions across Ukraine were bombed.

The Guardian reports Putin said he had agreed to resume three-way negotiations after talks with US envoy Steve Witkoff. Zelenskyy said the strikes showed Russia was not serious about peace, according to the Guardian. The paper also cites experts who say Moscow is trying to destroy Ukraine's energy infrastructure before winter.
