💨 Abstract

Czech President Petr Pavel warns that Ukraine must restart peace talks with Russia to avoid a major escalation. He suggests that Russia may be more inclined to negotiate if Ukraine continues to successfully target Russian territory. Meanwhile, Russia has been using drones launched from its "shadow fleet" to spy on European airports, military bases, and nuclear sites, potentially preparing for future conflicts. The International Institute of Strategic Studies reports that these activities are part of Russia's broader strategy to test and map European defenses.
