Russia and Ukraine trade airstrikes as pursuit of ceasefire continues

RUSSIA and Ukraine traded heavy aerial blows overnight, with both sides on Saturday reporting more than 100 enemy drones over their respective territories.
The attacks came less than 24 hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin met United States envoy Steve Witkoff to discuss details of the White House proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in the war with Ukraine.
Mr Putin told a press conference on Thursday that he supported a truce in principle but said a host of details needed further work before it could be agreed.
