Russia launches massive missile-drone attack on Ukraine amid peace talks

  • Russia launched a massive overnight missile and drone attack on Ukraine, one of the largest in months, hitting 29 sites and injuring at least eight people.
  • Ukraine's air force reported intercepting 585 of 653 drones and 30 of 51 missiles launched by Russia.
  • Ukrainian President Zelenskyy stated that energy facilities and a train station were the primary targets of the Russian strikes.
  • The attacks occurred as US/Trump advisors and Ukrainian officials held a third day of peace talks aimed at a postwar security framework.
  • Ukraine reportedly struck Russia's Ryazan Oil Refinery, while Russia claimed to shoot down 116 Ukrainian drones over its territory.

Why It Matters: Russia's attacks during peace talks undermine efforts for a peaceful resolution.
