Russia launches smallest nighttime attack on Ukraine in months in run-up to possible peace talks

  • Russia carried out its smallest nighttime drone assault of the year on Ukraine Tuesday, deploying 10 Shahed and decoy drones, as both sides get ready for upcoming peace negotiations scheduled to take place in Istanbul later this week.
  • The attack followed Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's challenge to Russian President Putin to meet in Istanbul on Thursday, while the Kremlin has not confirmed Putin's attendance or the delegation details.
  • Russia expressed willingness to send a delegation without preconditions, but Zelenskyy's adviser Mykhailo Podolyak stressed the president would only meet Putin and not lower-ranking officials.
  • Ukraine demanded a 30-day unconditional ceasefire before talks, with Podolyak stating that lower-level meetings would only delay peace, while Russia rejected the ceasefire but offered direct talks instead.
  • The ongoing conflict has cost tens of thousands of lives and stretched over 1,000 kilometres, with pressure increasing from the US and Europe to secure a diplomatic resolution soon.
