💨 Abstract

Russia launched over 100 drones at Ukraine following the Kremlin's rejection of a 30-day ceasefire proposal. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy challenged Russian President Putin to direct peace talks, but there was no response. The nearly 3-year war has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and significant territorial losses for Ukraine. Diplomatic efforts have been intensifying, with Russia favoring direct negotiations in Istanbul instead of a ceasefire.
