US EditionRussia Severely Limited After Attack: Ex-Ukraine Ambassador
- Representatives from Ukraine and Russia convened in Istanbul, Turkey, on Monday for a follow-up meeting—their second such in a little over two weeks—to discuss peace efforts, but the talks concluded without any agreement on a ceasefire.
- The talks followed intense military actions, including Ukraine's surprise 'Operation Spider's Web' drone strike on Russian airbases deep inside Russia and Russia's largest drone assault on Ukraine.
- Ukraine used nearly 120 FPV drones smuggled close to airfields to destroy or damage over 40 Russian warplanes, including nuclear bombers, causing billions in damage, while Russia fired 472 drones in an apparent defense-overwhelming attack.
- President Zelenskyy called the drone strike a 'brilliant operation' that took 18 months to plan and said setbacks would pressure Russia toward diplomacy, while analysts described it as a 'military and strategic game-changer'.
- The hour-long talks resulted in prisoner swaps and a commission to exchange wounded troops, but senior officials remain far apart on war-ending conditions, leaving peace prospects low amid ongoing fierce fighting.
