Russian Strikes and Drone Attacks Escalate Amid Diplomatic Stalemate in Ukraine

Russian forces launched a large-scale drone and missile attack against Ukraine, targeting civilian and energy infrastructure, while Ukraine and its allies develop a peace plan. The US imposed new sanctions on Russia and lifted restrictions on Ukrainian missile strikes, but Russia remains unwilling to negotiate in good faith, setting conditions to blame others for the failure of peace talks. Russia also conducts strategic missile tests and deploys reservists to protect infrastructure, while Ukrainian forces continue long-range strikes against Russian targets. The situation remains tense with ongoing military operations and diplomatic tensions.
