Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that Ukraine launched a “brilliant operation” deep inside Russian territory, using 117 drones in a strike that destroyed over 40 aircraft, including nuclear-capable bombers. The attack, planned over 18 months, targeted airbases across three time zones and came just a day before peace talks in Istanbul. Zelenskyy stressed the need for coordinated pressure—military, diplomatic, and economic—on Russia. The strike, reportedly coordinated near Russia’s FSB offices, has heightened tensions as the two nations prepare to discuss ending Europe’s largest war since WWII. Moscow has yet to provide its promised peace proposal for the talks. (PC: Reuters)
