Ukraine Destroys Russian Bombers Amid Stalled Peace Talks | JQJO

Amid stalled peace talks in Istanbul, Ukraine launched a daring drone operation, destroying a significant portion of Russia's strategic bombers, estimated at a third. Russia simultaneously conducted its largest air raid on Ukraine, intensifying attacks in Sumy. While Ukraine claims substantial damage to Russian aircraft, Western analysts are still verifying the extent of the losses. Despite the Ukrainian success, Russia made marginal territorial gains near Sumy, resulting in civilian casualties. A prisoner exchange was agreed upon during the talks, although further negotiations are uncertain due to Russia's uncompromising demands.
