Russia Rejects Ceasefire, Continues Drone Attacks on Ukraine
Following Russia’s rejection of a proposed 30-day ceasefire, Ukraine reported a nighttime attack involving over 100 Shahed drones. Despite Zelenskyy’s call for a face-to-face meeting with Putin in Turkey, the Kremlin has yet to respond. Russia instead proposed direct talks in Istanbul, a move contingent on Ukraine abandoning its demand for a prior ceasefire. This latest development follows a concerted effort by the U.S. and Europe to broker a peace deal, met with mixed reactions from Ukrainian citizens.
