Russia Launches Attack on Ukraine as Peace Talks Continue
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had a long and "substantive" phone call Saturday with President Donald Trump's advisers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
The call came after a third day of negotiations between U.S. and Ukrainian officials in Miami, where the two sides discussed Trump's proposed peace plan. It also follows a meeting Witkoff and Kushner had with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow earlier this week.
Zelenskyy said on X, "We agreed on the next steps and formats for talks with the United States." He added that he'll be getting a detailed report in person in Kyiv from Ukraine's senior negotiator.
Meanwhile, Russia unleashed a major missile and drone barrage on Ukraine overnight into Saturday, according to Ukrainian authorities. At least eight people were wounded.
Ukraine’s national energy operator said the attacks hit power stations and other energy infrastructure in several regions. The International Atomic Energy Agency said Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station temporarily lost all off-site power overnight.
The agency also said Saturday the protective shield around the Chernobyl nuclear disaster site in Ukraine can no longer do its job. A drone strike earlier this year damaged the steel structure that confines radioactive waste. Russia has denied carrying out the strike.
