In a significant escalation of hostilities, Russia launched its largest wave of strikes on Ukraine in several weeks, directly hitting a US-owned electronics factory in western Ukraine. The attack, which has been characterized as one of the largest in the ongoing conflict, resulted in multiple injuries and prompted immediate responses from NATO, including the scrambling of jets. Ukrainian officials condemned the strikes as a clear indication that Russia is not interested in pursuing peace, particularly in light of ongoing diplomatic efforts led by former President Trump. This brutal offensive coincided with accusations from Russia claiming Ukraine is disengaged from peace negotiations. The latest bombardment included drone and missile attacks that have left at least one dead and many wounded, underscoring the growing risks for both civilians and foreign businesses in the region.
