Separately, Ukraine\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has confirmed that Roman Abramovich acted as a go-between for messages between Kyiv and Moscow.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy told Sky News that the former owner of Premier League team Chelsea traveled to Kyiv with a message from Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy said Abramovich brought the message that the Russians \u201cwant to understand what we are ready to do,\u201d and had offered to take a reply to Putin.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the European Union\u2019s foreign policy chief said a new, proposed round of sanctions against Russia includes 80 listings targeting Russia\u2019s \u201cmilitary industrial complex, human rights violators and propagandists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaja Kallas told a news conference after a meeting of EU defense Ministers Monday that Western sanctions have already cost Moscow an estimated $1.2-1.5 trillion.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s Defense Ministry said its forces shot down 310 Ukrainian drones overnight into Monday, including over the Moscow region, western and southwestern Russia, Russian-occupied Crimea and the Black and Azov seas.<\/p>\n

Russia targeted Ukraine with 155 drones, of which Ukrainian air defenses shot down or suppressed 124, according to its air force.<\/p>\n

Ukraine strikes Russian energy sites<\/h4>\n

Ukraine\u2019s General Staff said Ukrainian forces had struck Russia\u2019s Krasnodar Krai region overnight, hitting the Grushovaya oil transshipment base near Novorossiysk. The complex is one of the largest transshipment hubs in southern Russia for oil and petroleum products.<\/p>\n

Russian regional authorities confirmed a Ukrainian drone sparked a fire at the facility, adding that there were no casualties. While they did not comment on the extent of damage, they said 130 rescue workers were involved in putting out the blaze.<\/p>\n

Asked whether the Kremlin is worried about the fuel crisis in Crimea, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Energy Ministry and other agencies are working on a set of measures to respond to the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are indeed certain problems at the moment,\u201d Peskov said. \u201cMeasures are being taken.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The Krasny Yar \u201clinear production and dispatching station\u201d in the Volgograd region was also hit, the General Staff said. A fire broke out at the site, according to the statement. Russian Gov. Andrei Bocharov didn\u2019t specify what the facility produces, but said there were no injuries.<\/p>\n

Ukraine also carried out strikes overnight in the Semykolodezkaya oil base in the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula on Sunday night, sparking a fire at the facility. The base is used to store fuel reserves supplying the Russian military, according to the statement posted on Telegram.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian forces also struck an oil depot near Feodosia in Crimea, the General Staff said.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy sent message to Putin<\/h4>\n

Zelenskyy said his message was that he would meet Putin \u201cany time\u201d in any location other than Russia or Belarus, and either bilaterally or with U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders.<\/p>\n

But he said Ukraine would not surrender the Donbas region, currently part-occupied by Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the key message. I said we will not leave and we will not go out from our territory,\u201d Zelenskyy told Sky News.<\/p>\n

Putin said last week that a Russian businessman, who he didn\u2019t identify, traveled to Kyiv last month and met with Zelenskyy to hear his offer of a personal meeting. The Russian leader rejected the idea of a meeting, saying he saw no point in it.<\/p>\n

Drone strikes civilians<\/h4>\n

Russian drone strikes overnight injured civilians and damaged buildings and businesses in the Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Chernihiv regions, regional authorities said.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s Emergency Service reported that four people were injured in the Dnipropetrovsk region when strikes hit residential buildings. In Odesa, three people were wounded after a Russian drone struck a public transport stop.<\/p>\n

Separately, a Ukrainian drone overnight struck a passenger train from Moscow to Simferopol in occupied Crimea, injuring the driver and killing the driver\u2019s assistant, Kremlin-installed regional leader Sergei Aksyonov reported early Monday.<\/p>\n

Akysyonov added that no passengers were hurt. But all passenger train traffic in Crimea was halted following the attack, with passengers evacuated and replacement buses provided, Russian operator Grand Service Express reported on Telegram that same morning.<\/p>\n
