12 civilians died in Russian strikes on Ukraine, officials said. Homes and key infrastructure were hit. The White House urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to agree to a deal giving the US access to Ukraine’s critical minerals in exchange for aid. Meanwhile, the US and Russia are considering a possible meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, but no decision has been made. Reports say the US opposes calling Russia the "aggressor" in a G7 statement on the war’s third anniversary. The White House says all options are open for peace talks, but Ukraine is not included yet.
