LONDON (Reuters) -The U.S. has signalled to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that Ukraine must accept a U.S.-drafted framework to end the war with Russia that proposes Kyiv giving up territory and some weapons,

It comes amid reports the US and Russia have prepared a 28-point peace plan, allegedly containing major concessions for Ukraine.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A large Russian drone and missile barrage on Ukraine’s western city of Ternopil killed at least 25 people, including three children, authorities said Wednesday, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy went to Turkey in search of diplomatic support for his fight against Russia’s invasion.

Ukrainian officials say a missile and drone attack killed dozens, right as the U.S. Army secretary arrived to push for peace talks.

Ukraine said it had successfully struck targets in Russia using U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles, ending a months-long absence of the powerful weapon from the battlefield. In a statement shared on Facebook, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine called it "an iconic event that emphasizes Ukraine's unwavering devotion to its sovereignty."

US officials say the proposal will recognise Crimea and other lands Russia occupied and will require Ukraine to cut its army size to 400,000.

Another 40 people were wounded in the overnight strikes on Ukraine that targeted energy and transport infrastructure, forcing emergency power cuts in a number of regions.

At least 10 people were killed and 37 injured, including 12 children, during a large Russian strike on the city of Ternopil in western Ukraine, said Igor Klymenko, Ukraine's minister of internal affairs. He said the western regions of Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Ternopil were "under a massive enemy attack" on Wednesday.

Ukraine has asked the Vatican to formalize its role facilitating negotiations for the return of Ukrainian children and civilians taken by Russia during the war.

Photojournalist Lynsey Addario, the subject of 'Love + War,' and Mstyslav Chernov, the filmmaker behind '2000 Meters From Andriivka,' discuss their work as conflict journalists.

Poland and Romania scrambled Nato fighter jets early on Wednesday as a series of explosions rang out across western Ukraine. In Poland, two airports in its southeast were shut down as Russian airstrikes targeted the cities of Lviv and Ternopil. The Polish military said it was forced to act to ensure the safety of Polish airspace.
