A Russian attack on a residential area outside Dnipro, in central-eastern Ukraine, killed a toddler and left at least 20 people injured, the regional governor said. Five children are among the injured, he said. Rescuers searched overnight for survivors in the rubble where a two-story residential building once stood.
China’s defense minister said that Beijing is doing its best to mediate between Russia and Ukraine and is primarily focused on “promoting talks for peace.” Speaking Sunday at the Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual defense gathering in Singapore, Gen. Li Shangfu said: “China has taken an objective and impartial stance based on the merits of the issue.” His comments come in the face of Western concerns that Beijing is aligning itself too closely with Moscow.
