Summary
Nine crew members died when the cargo ship Golden Leo sank off Odesa on Sunday, a week after Ukrainian officials said Russian forces shelled it.
The vessel had departed Chornomorsk carrying corn on July 19; eight people were evacuated, and Russia said Sunday its forces had struck Ukrainian ports and shipping.
Russia also launched 7 ballistic missiles and 136 drones overnight into Sunday, Ukraine said, hitting cities including Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Kyiv.
Romania summoned Russia’s ambassador after its military shot down a third drone in three days over the Black Sea after it entered Romanian airspace.
Against that backdrop, Ukrainian and U.S. officials have discussed a proposal for an air ceasefire, though the Kremlin said it was too early to comment.
