Israel is hesitant to accept Russia's mediation in its war with Iran, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov says.

"At the moment, we see reluctance 鈥� at least on Israel's part 鈥� to resort to mediation or pursue a peaceful resolution," Russian state news agency TASS reported Peskov as saying.

Donald Trump said on Sunday that he was open to the idea of Vladimir Putin mediating between Iran and Israel.

"He is ready. He called me about it. We had a long talk about it. We talked about this more than his situation (war against Ukraine)," Trump said, according to ABC reporter Rachel Scott.

Putin held calls with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when Iran and Israel began trading strikes last Friday.

The Russian president offered condolences to Pezeshkian for the "numerous civilian casualties" and condemned Israel's actions as violations of the UN Charter. He later proposed that Russia could serve as a neutral mediator.

Israel has not commented publicly on the Kremlin's offer, but Peskov's statement implies Tel Aviv's rejection. France has also dismissed the idea, with Emmanuel Macron saying on Sunday that Moscow "cannot be a mediator."

The various heads of Kyiv's districts have met to plan new approaches in their responses to Russian attacks.

Moscow's overnight drone and missile attack on the capital killed 19 people, with Volodymyr ZelenAG百家乐在线官网y labelling the scenes as "horrific" and "pure terrorism".

"We must realise that such situations during a war with such a vile enemy are inevitable," Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration, shared on Telegram. 

"Therefore, we are obliged to implement new approaches to our response."

Tkachenko says each district of Kyiv "must be ready to act instantly" by providing assistance, allocating resources to affected districts and eliminating the consequences of bombing.

"Each district head is personally involved in the process," he adds.

"During attacks, it is important to prevent leaks and accidents. This is part of safety measures."

Volodymyr ZelenAG百家乐在线官网y is about to arrive at the G7 leaders' summit in Kananaskis.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will welcome the Ukrainian president to the summit.

The European Commission has proposed the EU bans all Russian gas and liquefied natural gas imports by the end of 2027, with a ban on short-term contracts starting next year. 

Imports under short-term Russian gas deals would start being banned from January 1 2026, before imports under existing long-term Russian contracts would be banned from January 1 2028.

If approved, the move would effectively end the EU's use of Russian gas within two years.

Two UK residents are among those being sanctioned by the British government for allegedly funnelling more than $120m (拢88m) of electronics to Russia.

Vladimir Pristoupa and Olech Tkacz are accused of operating a "shadowy network of shell companies" in the UK that supply Russia with high-tech electronics, which are "crucial" to Putin's war effort.

The UK has also targeted Russia's secretive military agency in charge of deep-sea research. The government says such actions will protect the UK from attacks on subsea infrastructure.

In total, four individuals, six entities and 20 ships have been sanctioned, targeting Russia鈥檚 financial, military and energy sectors.

"We know that our sanctions are hitting hard," Sir Keir Starmer said. "So while Putin shows total disregard for peace, we will not hesitate to keep tightening the screws."

The head of Russia's security council has met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for the second time in less than two weeks.

Sergei Shoigu previously visited Pyongyang and met Kim for talks on 21 March and 4 June this year.

The two agreed that North Korea will send 1,000 deminers and 5,000 military construction workers to Russia's Kursk region to help rebuild it after Ukraine's incursion there, Shoigu said in remarks reported by Russian state media.

Shoigu also "expressed hope" that flights between Russia and North Korea will resume for the first time in 30 years.

For context: Last year, Russia and North Korea signed a strategic partnership treaty, including a mutual defence pact.

Pyongyang has since sent thousands of soldiers to help Russia expel Ukrainian troops from its western Kursk region. 

North Korea has also been accused of sending missiles, anti-tank rockets and ammunition to Russia for use in its war against Ukraine. Both Moscow and Pyongyang have denied weapons transfers.

The Trump administration recently scrapped a group set up to formulate strategies for pressuring Russia into speeding up peace talks with Ukraine, three US officials have told the Reuters news agency.

The group, set up earlier in the spring, lost steam last month as it became clear that Donald Trump was not interested in adopting a more confrontational start toward Moscow, said the officials.

Trump and several high-ranking members of his administration warned in April that the US could walk away from efforts to broker peace unless there are clear signs of progress soon.

Delegations from Moscow and Kyiv have met for two rounds of direct talks in Istanbul since then, but these have only amounted to a string of prisoner swaps.

The death of the working group is likely to deepen European allies' concerns over Trump's willingness to oppose Vladimir Putin and his war in Ukraine.

Ukrainian rescue teams have pulled five more bodies from the rubble of a house in Kyiv destroyed by overnight Russian attacks, officials said.

The head of the capital's military administration said on Telegram that the house was in the SolomyanAG百家乐在线官网 district of the city.

This takes the number of people killed in Kyiv overnight to 19. Another victim died in the southern port city of Odesa.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov says there is currently "no understanding" over the next round of talks between Russia and Ukraine.

Delegations from Moscow and Kyiv have met twice this year for direct negotiations in Istanbul, with the only genuine agreement being a series of prisoner exchanges.

Talks have been made difficult by incompatible positions on both sides. Russia is demanding territorial concessions, while Ukraine seeks a ceasefire and security guarantees without surrendering its sovereignty.
