U.S. and Ukrainian Officials Continue Talks Amid Russian Drone and Missile Attacks on Ukraine
Russia launched a significant missile and drone attack on Ukraine, targeting energy facilities and infrastructure, as diplomatic talks between U.S. and Ukrainian officials continue. The attack involved 653 drones and 51 missiles, leading to air raid alerts across Ukraine. Ukrainian forces managed to neutralize 585 drones and 30 missiles, but 29 locations were struck, resulting in at least eight injuries. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant temporarily lost off-site power, raising concerns about nuclear safety. The attacks coincide with ongoing discussions in Florida, where U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Ukrainian negotiators are working on a security framework for postwar Ukraine. The talks aim to mediate a resolution to the nearly four-year-old conflict, with progress dependent on Russia's commitment to peace.
