Here are the key developments from the 1,032nd day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

fighting:

Eight Ukrainian drones attacked residential buildings in the Russian city of Kazan, more than 1,000 km (600 miles) from the front lines, taking the war deep into the heart of Russia. Local officials said there were no injuries.
Rosaviatsiya, the Russian civil aviation authority, temporarily closed Kazan International Airport as a precaution and canceled all major public events in the area.
Alexander Khinshtein, acting governor of Russia’s Kursk region, said six people, including a child, were killed in a Ukrainian missile attack on the city of Rylsk on Friday. Ten others, including a 13-year-old child, suffered minor injuries.
Ukrainian officials said Moscow sent 113 drones into Ukraine overnight Saturday, 57 of which were shot down. Another 56 drones were “lost”, possibly having been electronically jammed.
Amid the ongoing campaign to capture the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that its forces had captured the village of Kostiantinopolske, which Russian officials call Ostrovsky.
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a Russian attack hit an oncology hospital in the southern Kherson region. Staff and patients were in shelter so there were no casualties.

Zelensky said he met with CIA Director William Burns in Ukraine, a rare public disclosure of a meeting between the pair. He did not say when the meeting took place, but said it would be their last meeting before Burns leaves office after Trump takes office.
Russia’s FSB security service says a man has been sentenced to 19 years in prison for passing information about Russian soldiers to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Responding to the attack that killed six people in Kursk, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya told the Security Council that Moscow’s “reaction to this targeted crime against peaceful Russian citizens will not be long in coming”.
Zelensky said Ukraine “will certainly continue to attack Russian military targets with drones and missiles”.
