U.S., Russian and Ukrainian negotiators are back around a table for a second round of technical talks, but in Kyiv, Russian bombs bring suffering and skepticism.

Envoys from Moscow and Kyiv met in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday for another round of U.S.-brokered talks on ending the almost four-year war, as a Russian attack using cluster munitions killed seven people at a market in Ukraine.

Russia launched a massive overnight attack on Ukraine using more than 70 missiles and 450 drones, Zelenskyy said, one day before peace talks resume in Abu Dhabi.

Russia attacked Ukraine’s capital Kyiv with ballistic missiles early on Tuesday, local authorities reported, following a week-long pause in strikes on major cities and infrastructure agreed to by Russia and the US as Ukraine grapples with plummeting winter temperatures.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on Tuesday rejected accusations from Moscow that Berlin's support for Ukraine is driven by revanchism, calling the claims a distraction from Russia's own actions.

Russia continuously upgrades its Geran (Shahed) drones to beat Ukrainian defenses, but rising costs now exceed cheap interceptor drones, flipping the cost balance.

Efforts to halt Russia’s use of the Starlink internet system to guide its drones for attacks on Ukraine have produced “real results,” Ukraine’s defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov said on Sunday.

US President Donald Trump wrote after a conversation with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the Indian leader is willing to abandon the purchase of Russian oil and linked this to the possibility of a faster end to Russia's war against Ukraine.
