President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the leaders of the US and China to attend a summit to discuss Ukraine's peace blueprint as Russia builds up troop formations near Ukraine's northeast border and steps up air attacks.

Russian glide bombs struck a home-improvement superstore in Kharkiv on Saturday, killing at least 12 people and wounding 43, Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said Sunday. Sixteen more people are missing, he said. The bombs triggered a fire that scorched more than 10,000 square meters of the store on a busy shopping day.
