A significant escalation in the Ukraine-Russia conflict occurred as Ukraine targeted air bases across Russia in a coordinated drone assault, resulting in extensive damage to military assets.
Ukraine has ramped up its military offensive against Russia, executing a coordinated drone attack targeting air bases from eastern Siberia to the western border. This marked one of the largest assaults of the conflict, resulting in significant damage to Russian military aircraft. The operation occurred as Ukraine suffers setbacks, including a Russian missile strike on a military training base that killed at least 12 soldiers.
Ukrainian officials revealed that drones were secretly transported into Russia and launched from trucks, indicating a complex operation that has caused widespread alarm within Russia's military circles, with a Russian blogger calling it a “black day for Russian long-range aviation.”
Simultaneously, fighting continues to escalate as both Ukrainian and Russian delegations prepare to meet in Istanbul for cease-fire negotiations. Previous talks had seen both sides agreeing to share their peace terms; however, tensions remain high, with allegations from Ukraine that Russia is stalling on negotiations in light of recent events. The international community watches closely as these developments unfold, hoping that dialogue can pave the way for peace amidst ongoing hostilities.
