It comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed trilateral talks between Ukraine, US and Russia would go ahead on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n
Mr Zelenskyy said: “There is already an agreement on a meeting – a trilateral meeting – at the appropriate level. This meeting will take place next week, as planned, on Wednesday and Thursday in the Emirates, like last time.”<\/p>\n
Energy company DTEK said Russian forces had carried out a “massive terrorist attack” on a company mine in the region and all the dead and wounded were its employees returning from a shift.<\/p>\n
“Today, the enemy carried out a cynical and targeted attack on energy sector workers \u200din the Dnipropetrovsk region,” energy minister Denys Shmyhal said.<\/p>\n
The company and energy minister initially said 15 were killed in the strike.<\/p>\n
