Ukraine says Russia has fired more than 100 drones overnight despite attempts from Kyiv’s allies to get Moscow to begin a 30-day ceasefire and the prospect of direct talks proposed by Russia this week in Turkiye’s Istanbul.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday welcomed the possibility of United States President Donald Trump’s participation in talks with Russia in Turkiye on Thursday and said he hoped Russian leader Vladimir Putin will not “evade the meeting”. He added that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan “can indeed host [the] highest-level meeting”.
