<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nRussian strikes killed at least eight people and wounded dozens across Ukraine on Saturday, local officials said, as Russian president Vladimir Putin warned that any deployment of European troops to Ukraine would amount to ‘a war with Russia’.Ukraine is facing an intensifying Russian air campaign involving ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones, with Moscow also targeting the country\u2019s power infrastructure ahead of winter. Ukrainian officials have claimed that the attacks are aimed at demoralising civilians.Two people were killed and one wounded after Russian drones struck a residential area overnight in Zaporizhzhia, regional head Ivan Fedorov said. In Kryvyi Rih, one person was killed and three others wounded, according to local officials.In Odesa and the surrounding area, 35 people were wounded in what regional head Oleh Kiper described as a \u201cmassive attack\u201d. A residential high-rise was among the buildings hit, with its upper floors completely destroyed.Later on Saturday, two people were killed in a Russian attack on a grocery store in Ukraine\u2019s Zhytomyr region, local officials said. Three more people were killed after cars were hit by drones in Ukraine’s partially occupied Donetsk region.Meanwhile, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukrainian forces had struck two chemical industry facilities in Russia, in Samara and Perm. Regional governors did not immediately comment, while Russian independent online outlet Astra reported drone attacks on chemical plants in both regions.Speaking to reporters at the Brics summit in India on Friday, Putin said European governments sending troops into Ukraine would mean direct conflict with Russia.\u201cNow they\u2019re talking about how they\u2019re considering sending troops into Ukraine. That means a war with Russia,\u201d he said.Several European leaders have pledged support for a potential peacekeeping force in Ukraine, a prospect Moscow has repeatedly rejected.Putin also denied that Russia posed a threat to Europe, saying, \u201cthere is no such threat and never has been.\u201d\u201cWe do not threaten, nor do we intend to threaten, European countries,\u201d he said.Separately, Zelenskyy in an interview said that he would meet Putin if both were invited to the Group of 20 summit in Miami in December. Putin\u2019s foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov said the possibility of Putin attending had not yet been discussed.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Saturday, \u201cIf he really wants to meet with Putin, Putin has already said that he could fly to Moscow.\u201dRussian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow was \u201cready for negotiations\u201d, but added that the \u201cspecial military operation\u201d would not be suspended during the talks.<\/div>\n Russian strikes killed at least eight people and wounded dozens across Ukraine on Saturday, local officials said, as Russian
