Russia has intensified its military operations against Ukraine, launching a series of massive drone and missile attacks across various regions. Reports indicate over 700 drone and missile strikes have hit critical infrastructure, causing extensive damage and leaving more than 600,000 people in Kyiv without power. This surge in hostilities comes as Ukrainian negotiators engage in diplomatic talks in the United States aimed at finding a resolution to the ongoing conflict. Recent air assaults resulted in multiple casualties, including at least six deaths and numerous injuries. While the diplomatic efforts continue, daily life for Ukrainians is severely disrupted, with blackouts and frequent air raid alerts becoming the norm.
