Despite this, both sides accused each other of launching fresh air attacks. Zelensky said Ukraine would provide a list of key sites for the US and allies to monitor. He stressed that if Russia stops its attacks, Ukraine will do the same. Ukraine's air force reported shooting down 72 drones, while Russia claimed to have destroyed 57 Ukrainian drones.
