"Russia launched a major drone and missile attack targeting Ukraine’s two
largest cities, Kyiv and Kharkiv, early on Saturday, as US, Ukrainian and
Russian negotiators met in the United Arab Emirates for a second day of
tripartite peace talks.
“Peace efforts? Trilateral meeting in the UAE? Diplomacy? For Ukrainians, this
was another night of Russian terror,” the country’s foreign minister, Andrii
Sybiha, said after the latest Russian assault on critical infrastructure.
“Cynically, Putin ordered a brutal massive missile strike against Ukraine right
while delegations are meeting in Abu Dhabi to advance the America-led peace
process. His missiles hit not only our people, but also the negotiation table.
“This barbaric attack once again proves that Putin’s place is not at (US
President Donald Trump’s) Board of Peace, but in the dock of the special
tribunal,” Sybiha wrote on X.
Despite the the latest wave of attacks, the talks in Abu Dhabi resumed on
Saturday morning."
