Russian air attacks on Ukraine have killed at least 15 people in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, according to the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said earlier on Saturday that three people were among those killed in the Russian attacks on the city.

“Today, Russia expressed its thanks for the lifting of sanctions on diesel exports by dropping five glide bombs on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia,” Zelenskyy said on social media.

Rescuers continued searching for people under the rubble, he said.

Speaking from Kyiv, Al Jazeera’s Audrey MacAlpine said “there are more and more daytime attacks taking place across Ukraine, for example a glide bomb hit a bus stop earlier in the week, killing 30 people, and in Kyiv recently more and more jet-powered drones are striking targets during the daytime.

“One video that was released recently shows a man standing in front of a school and running from a building when he heard the jet approaching, surviving only by a few seconds – all of this underscores just how dangerous things have become for civilians here in Ukraine lately,” MacAlpine said.

US, Ukraine, EU meeting

The attacks come a day after US, Ukrainian, and European officials met in Miami, Florida, to discuss a proposal for ⁠ending the Russia-Ukraine war, US envoy Steve Witkoff said in a statement posted to X.

Witkoff said on Friday that “constructive discussions” tackled “potential avenues to de-escalate and conclude the war with Russia ahead of winter and advance efforts toward a durable and lasting peace”.

Witkoff said the meeting included “the E3, the European Commission, Ukraine and NATO”.

The discussions covered energy resilience, grain exports, security guarantees and “longer-term arrangements for Ukraine’s and Europe’s security to prevent future conflict”, Witkoff said.

He also noted the “productive” talks discussed “Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction and economic prosperity, including EU accession”.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Thursday the conflict had reached a dangerous “stalemate” , with the failure to reach a negotiated settlement raising the risk of further escalation.

“The other way that stalemates end is through escalation,” Rubio told reporters, warning that the conflict could spread to neighbouring NATO countries.

美国表示，已与欧洲和乌克兰官员举行会谈，以确保在冬季来临前实现持久和平。

据乌克兰检察官办公室称，俄罗斯对乌克兰的空袭已造成东南部城市扎波罗热至少 15 人死亡。

乌克兰总统泽连斯基周六早些时候表示，在俄罗斯对该市的袭击中，有三人丧生。

普京告诉特朗普和平谈判不太可能，并提及乌克兰无人机袭击事件（共3条，此为第3条）。

“今天，俄罗斯向扎波罗热的居民楼投掷了五枚滑翔炸弹，以此表达对解除柴油出口制裁的感谢，”泽连斯基在社交媒体上说。

他说，救援人员仍在废墟下搜寻被困人员。

半岛电视台记者奥黛丽·麦克阿尔平在基辅表示：“乌克兰各地白天发生的袭击事件越来越多，例如，本周早些时候一枚滑翔炸弹袭击了一个公交车站，造成 30 人死亡；最近在基辅，越来越多的喷气式无人机在白天袭击目标。”

“最近发布的一段视频显示，一名男子站在学校前，听到喷气式飞机靠近时从建筑物里跑出来，只差几秒钟就幸免于难——所有这些都凸显了最近乌克兰平民的处境有多么危险，”麦克阿尔平说。

美国、乌克兰、欧盟会议

袭击发生前一天，美国、乌克兰和欧洲官员在佛罗里达州迈阿密举行会议，讨论结束俄乌战争的提案。美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫在一份发布于 X 的声明中表示。

维特科夫周五表示，“建设性讨论”探讨了“在冬季到来之前缓和并结束与俄罗斯战争的潜在途径，并推进实现持久和平的努力”。

维特科夫表示，此次会议的参与者包括“英法德三国、欧盟委员会、乌克兰和北约”。

维特科夫表示，讨论内容涵盖能源韧性、粮食出口、安全保障以及“为乌克兰和欧洲安全制定的长期安排，以防止未来冲突”。

他还指出，此次“富有成效”的会谈讨论了“乌克兰战后重建和经济繁荣，包括加入欧盟”。

美国国务卿马可·卢比奥周四表示，这场冲突已经陷入危险的“僵局”，未能达成谈判解决增加了冲突进一步升级的风险。

“僵局结束的另一种方式是局势升级，”鲁比奥告诉记者，并警告说冲突可能会蔓延到邻近的北约国家。
