Russia launched its largest drone attack on Ukraine since the war began, targeting Kyiv and causing casualties and damage. A 28-year-old woman was killed, and three others injured, including a child. The attack followed direct peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey, which yielded limited progress, with Russia demanding territorial concessions. Despite the talks, Russia intensified its assault, killing one and injuring eight in Donetsk. Russia also claimed to have downed 75 Ukrainian drones. Donald Trump is scheduled to speak with Putin to discuss the conflict.
