Rescue teams search for survivors after missiles kill at least 23 in Vinnytsia, Ukraine
Russian forces, meanwhile, pounded other sites in a relentless push to wrest territory from Ukraine and try to soften the unbending morale of its leaders, civilians and troops as the war nears the five-month mark.

He said work on a document called “Black Sea initiative” was set to be completed “in the nearest time.” The Russian proposal would allow shipments of food “while excluding the use of those logistical chains for the deliveries of weapons and military equipment” to Ukraine. He also said the plan seeks to “prevent any provocations.”That was most extensive Russian comment yet on the grain talks, which mostly involved military officials. U.N.
More than 73 people - including four children - remained hospitalized and 18 people were missing after Thursday's strike, said Oleksandr Kutovyi, spokesman for the emergency service in the Vinnytsia region. Search teams were poring over two sites on Friday - an office building with a medical center, and a concert hall near an outdoor recreation area where mothers with children often stroll.
