Putin’s drone attacks mock Trump’s attempt for Ukraine peace deal

Ukraine Drone Vladimir Putin Donald Trump Volodymyr Zelenksyy

Hours after Vladimir Putin agreed with Donald Trump to halt attacks on Ukraine's energy grid, Russia launched a mass drone attack targeting the grid and civilian infrastructure.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the attacks demonstrated Putin's lack of commitment to the agreement, while European leaders expressed skepticism about Putin's intentions.
Despite the attacks, Trump and Zelensky held a phone call, which both sides described as positive, and affirmed their commitment to working towards peace. A partial ceasefire focusing on civilian infrastructure was discussed.
A prisoner exchange involving 175 prisoners from each side, brokered by the UAE, took place amidst the ongoing conflict.
While the US expressed optimism about Putin's good faith, significant obstacles remain, including Russia's demand for a halt to Western military aid to Ukraine in exchange for a full ceasefire. Further US-Russia talks are scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia.
