Russia responded to the attack of Ukrainian drones on the silent bombs, while the warring countries are holding direct talks

Ukraine shock A drone attack on Russian military air basesIncluding some deep Russian territory, which President Voludimir Zelinski said it was secretly planned and coordinated from inside Russia over the past 18 months, it seemed on Monday that he had left the Kremlin without danger.

Russia’s run -off at the country’s Ministry of Defense cited on Monday that the forces struck the production of sites, release and storage on Ukrainian drones, and claimed that they had dropped hundreds of drones that Ukrainian launched over the past 24 hours, but there was no direct public response from the Russian authorities to the Ukrainian strike.

While Ukraine has it The drones were launched in RussiaIncluding the capital, Moscow, for several months, as well as organizing others Secret operations on Russian soilOn Sunday, the attack was noticeable for its scope and size. Ukraine claimed that it had harmed or destroyed 41 aircraft of the Russian bomber in bases across the vast country. Ukrainian officials said the attack did not endanger Russian civilians.

It was also noticeable, a day before the two sides sat face to face in Türkiye in the second round of direct talks.

“I believed it could explode Ukraine and kill indefinitely without any endless punishment. But this is not the case. We will respond to Russian terrorism and destroy the enemy everywhere – at sea, and on the ground.”

Sbu Vasil Maleyuk leader claimed that Ukraine hit the planes in four Russian bases, damaging more than $ 7 billion on the Russian bomber fleet.

The Ministry of Defense in Moscow said on Monday that the Russian air defenses had intercepted a total of 316 Ukrainian drones in 24 hours, which include the time of the Ukraine attack. The Russian ministry said that 205 of these drones had been injured outside the “Special Operations Zone”, a term used by the Kremlin to refer to the land that has seized it since its launch on a large scale. Ukraine invasion In February 2022.

The Ukrainian authorities said that before dawn on Monday, Russia fired ballistic missiles and a series of drones in the northeastern city of Kharkif, miles from the Russian border, with at least six people, including a child.

Separately, the Russian army claimed that more than 1,400 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in northern Ukraine during the previous day.

Russia and Ukraine held the second round of talks in Türkiye

Despite the sharp escalation of the war, it seems that any penetration seems less likely than before, the Russian and Ukrainian delegations sat against each other on Monday in Istanbul in the second round of negotiations in an attempt to peace.

Reuters, noting that a text of Ukrainian proposal that I saw, said that the representatives of Ukraine, led by Defense Secretary Rostat Omrouf, were expected to present a plan calling for “a complete and unconditional and unconditional shooting in the sky, on the ground and in the sea as a necessary background and a prerequisite for peace negotiations,” according to Reuters, a text of a text from the Ukrainian proposal that I saw. The proposed truce will last for at least 30 days, in line with the former Trump administration calls.

Ukraine was also expected to demand an unconditional return of all Ukrainian children and civilian hostages that were captured during the war, and that the regional gains that Russia have achieved since February 2014, when Russia invaded for the first time and annexed the Crimea, is not recognized by the international community.

On the other hand, Ukraine is open to lift the “some sanctions” imposed by the United States and its allies, “but only on stages and gradual, with a mechanism to resume sanctions if necessary.

Ukrainians also want to use Russian sovereign assets by Western countries for use in reconstruction, or to remain frozen until compensation is paid.

Moscow was not, as the second round of the talks entered Monday, revealing any new conditions or conditions for the virtual ceasefire.

The government of President Vladimir Putin has insisted months ago that the only way to end the war is to address what it calls mysteriously “the root causes” of the conflict. Russia insists that the war, which Putin calls only a “special military operation”, was caused by NATO’s ambitions for further expansion in the east, and Moscow’s desire to defend the Russian -speaking Ukrainians in the eastern part of the neighboring countries.

Putin and his adult assistants routinely reject the pro -Urub, supporter of New Zelinski as an illegal leader of Ukraine. The Russian president refused to accept the challenge of his Ukrainian counterpart in direct personal talks, face to face.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Vian said on Monday, when the talks began that discussions on the Putin-Delinski meeting “will be considered.”

But there was no confirmation from Ukraine or Russia that such a high -level dialogue was imminent. Instead, reports from Türkiye suggested that the second round of the talks had ended in a little more than an hour. Zelinski, who did not attend negotiations, told correspondents during Monday’s visit to Lithuania, however, that a new prisoner exchange was organized between the two warring sides.

He did not say to the extent of the planning of the planning for a exchange, but important Exchange late last month Of the arrested 1,000 civilians and war prisoners, the only concrete result of the first round of talks between Russia and Ukraine was.

President Trump expressed his frustration with Zelinski and Putin for their failure to agree to the truce. During the election campaign last year, Mr. Trump has repeatedly pledged to mediate at the end of the war within hours of taking office. The US President recently issued rare sharp criticism of Putin, He described it as “very crazy” To continue the Ukrainian cities with missiles, as the United States and its partners pushing for the peace agreement.

Mr. Trump asked in a publication of social media during the last prisoner’s swap, whether, “It can lead to a big thing? “

The state -run media in the country quoted Russian officials as saying that on Monday, the two sides agreed to hold a third round of talks, but no date has been set. Officials acknowledged that the shelter of prisoners in the future was a major discussion point, but Ukrainian officials said that Russia had refused to call for a 30 -day ceasefire.

There was no immediate reaction from the White House to the second round of negotiations in Türkiye on Monday, but the Trump administration made it clear that Ukraine had not provided any prior warning from the Sunday drone attack before those talks.
