Hungary PM ‘to meet Putin,’ Russian strikes hit Ukraine

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is scheduled to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, Radio Free Europe and the Financial Times report.

Russian news agencies quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as neither confirming nor denying the Friday visit.

State news agency RIA cited Peskov as saying that Putin had a “busy schedule” on Friday, about which the Kremlin would inform reporters later.

It would be the first time since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that Putin and Orban have met inside Russia.

Dnipropetrovsk regional governor Serhiy Lysak reported seven wounded in the southern town of Nikopol.

He had said earlier that Russian forces had attacked areas near Nikopol with drones and artillery on Wednesday evening and Thursday morning.

Lysak later reported that a woman died of injuries sustained on Wednesday in the region’s main city, Dnipro.

Seven people died in that attack.

Two civilians in the southern city of Kherson were wounded in a drone strike, the local administration said.

All the affected regions have been subjected to repeated attacks since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Russia denies targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure but thousands of people have been killed and wounded.
