US and Russian officials have wrapped up a day of talks in Saudi Arabia focused on a proposal for a naval ceasefire between Kiev and Moscow. There was no immediate word on whether a deal had been reached or progress made.
A Russian source told Reuters that a draft joint statement has been sent to Moscow and Washington for approval, with the sides aiming to publish it tomorrow.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier that no documents would be signed, Russian state news agency TASS reported.
Even as the meeting was taking place, a Russian missile strike damaged a school and a hospital in Sumy, injuring at least 88 people, according to the local council.
"Moscow talks about peace while carrying out brutal attacks on densely populated residential areas in major Ukrainian cities. Instead of making empty statements about peace, Russia should stop bombing our cities and end its war against civilians," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said.
