On Sunday, Ukraine and Russia launched a lot of airstrikes aiming at each other’s military infrastructure because Vloadimir’s Zensky said he would send a group of negotiators to Istanbul for a quiet discussion.

Jensky followed Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday that the Ukraine President’s Confirmation of the President of the Ukraine had followed the days of speculation, which would be held on Monday.

Before the discussion, both sides launched several ambitious airstrikes since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.

Ukraine’s security services, SBU, hit four airfields inside Russia, which had several strategic bombers used to carry out airstrikes, an official said.

The official told the Financial Times, “SBU drones are targeting the aircraft that bombs Ukrainian cities every night. At the moment, more than 5 aircraft have been hit,” the official told the Financial Times that the drones were hit by a thousand kilometers away from the front line.

About 5,500 km east of the Ukrainian border was “burning” at Belia Airfield in southeast Siberia; At the Olenea Air Base on the Cola Peninsula near Murmansk; Diagilevo Air Base 200 km southeast of Moscow; And Ivanovo Airfield, 300 km northeast of the Russian capital, said the officer said.

A Russian airfield shared by the Ukrainian review aircraft and a number of aircrafts shared by the authorities at the flames and the drones showed several aircraft. In another video, the voice attacks of SBU’s Chief Vasil Maliauk are heard for approval.

According to people familiar with the operation, the attack called Spiderweb Coden was planned more than a year ago and “personally monitoring” by Zelnsky. It used a few dozens of small “first person scene” drones decorated in explosives.

SBU drones were smuggled into Russia, followed by the smaller mobile cabins of the wood, and people said. The drones were then hidden under the roof of the structure, which was burnt in the lorries. On Sunday, the roofs were opened remotely and the drones traveled towards the Russian military airports.

“It is exactly what we need to win in the war,” said Olexandar Merazco, head of the Ukrainian Parliament Foreign Affairs Affairs Committee.

In recent days, Zensky has blast Putin to fail to provide a “memorandum” outline of Russian conditions for peace. Kyiv and Washington were promised before the memoi was discussed in the next round.

Zensky says Defense Minister Rusteme will be led by Ukraine’s delegation again and Russia has already received its terms. The President said that he was looking for a complete and unconditional ceasefire, the release of all prisoners, forcing the return of Ukrainian children to Russia and meeting Putin.

“The main things can only be resolved by the leaders,” he said.

The Russian delegation will lead Vladimir Medinsky, who failed with Ukraine in the first months of the war in 2022, led by the latest meeting of Istanbul last month. Russia’s military intelligence agency, Deputy Persian Minister Mikhail Golzin and Deputy Principal Minister Alexander Fomin’s chief Igor Coastiukov will also join a field of Russian experts as well.

According to the Ukraine Air Force, Moscow has launched 472 drones overnight overnight in its largest drone attack since 2022. Explosions were reported in the cities of Kharkiv and Japorizzia, while the air defense on Kiev was activated.

The Ukrainian Air Force says Russian forces have launched three ballistic missiles and four cruise missiles, saying that the strike has been recorded in five places. Three cruise missiles and 382 drones were shot or jammed with an electronic war device.

A missile strike at a military training ground in the country killed 12 people and was injured more than 605. Ukrainian ground forces did not publish the strike or used missile.

According to a war-monitoring group department associated with the Ukrainian military, Russian ground forces have taken their latest offensive in the Ukrainian region, where they control at least 5 sq km.

Zensky told reporters earlier this week that Moscow had collected more than 5,700 troops in the region for possible aggressively aggressive in the regional capital. Ukrainian authorities have ordered the removal of four villages in the area.
