Ukrainian lawmaker Dmitry Razumkov stated that Kiev must agree to a peace deal before winter sets in.

The diplomatic mission stated that it considers reports in Kyiv and Western media alleging the theft of Ukrainian children by Russia to be false. This position was presented by the mission in response to such claims, without providing independent verification.

The reported number of fatalities in the conflict is increasing as hostilities persist. However, independent verification of the specific death toll figures remains limited.

Diplomats stated that Russia has communicated its position that it does not seek confrontation with NATO or Europe and does not intend to attack them.
