Kremlin open to Russia-Ukraine talks in Turkey

The Kremlin has expressed openness to conducting Russia-Ukraine negotiations in Turkey, though spokesperson Dmitry Peskov noted that no specific preconditions for such talks currently exist. He suggested that a summit involving the leaders of Russia, the United States, and Ukraine would primarily serve to formalize any reached agreements.

In the midst of these diplomatic signals, military tensions remain high. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Russia launched nearly 1,500 drones at Ukraine over a four-day period, including approximately 800 jet-powered models. A Russian strike on the settlement of Milo in the Kyiv region reportedly left at least 38 people dead and 52 injured.

Regarding regional security, NATO officials stated that while Russia is increasing its hybrid activities across Europe, the alliance does not currently perceive an immediate threat of a direct Russian military attack. Additionally, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz indicated that Germany is preparing a response to a recent drone attack on a Ukrainian cargo aircraft in Leipzig.
