Ukraine fired nearly 1,200 drones at Russian targets in one of its largest aerial attacks since the invasion began.

Ukraine fired almost 1,200 drones at Russian targets overnight in one of its biggest aerial attacks since Moscow's invasion nearly five years ago, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials.

U.S.-led peace talks have expanded to include discussions of wider European security arrangements. This shift, long sought by Moscow, has alarmed European leaders and raised questions about NATO's future role. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Russia's desire to discuss European security architecture was unnecessary, saying 'There is one' in reference to NATO.

After two days of talks with Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Abu Dhabi this week, U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met separately with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Dublin, Ireland. Kushner said Russia has agreed to include Europe in upcoming talks, after Moscow had previously insisted that European governments should be excluded. This will allow negotiators 'to address the broader postwar European security arrangements alongside the territorial issues between Ukraine and Russia.' Further talks are planned as negotiators seek a breakthrough in peace efforts.
