US EditionYou’ll See Everything’: Zelensky Mum on Whether Drone Attack Will Affect Istanbul Talks
- Ukraine launched a large drone attack on multiple Russian military air bases days before planned peace talks in Istanbul on Monday, 2025.
- The assault targeted bases thousands of kilometers inside Russia, following nearly four years of Moscow's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, with officials expecting limited progress at the talks.
- Ukrainian President Zelensky said the operation used 117 drones, destroyed over 40 Russian warplanes, and damaged one third of Russia's cruise missile carriers at key airfields.
- The Security Service of Ukraine estimated the damage at 7 billion US dollars, underscoring Zelensky's warning that failure at Istanbul would require "new and tougher sanctions" on Russian energy and finance sectors.
- This attack signals intensifying conflict dynamics and may pressure international actors toward stronger sanctions if peace negotiations fail, reflecting ongoing geopolitical tensions.
