Shock of Ukraine Drone attack in Russian military basesincluding a deep Russian territory inside the interior, that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was in secret and coordinated from inside Russia in the last 18 months, he seemed to have left the Kremlin without words.

The state media of Russia cited the country’s ministry of defense saying on Monday that the forces had hit the production, launch and storage sites of Ukrainian drones, and claiming to have demolished hundreds of Ukrainian drones in the last 24 hours, but there was no direct public response of the Russian authorities to the Ukrainian strike.

While Ukraine has Drones launched in Russiaincluding the capital of Moscow, for months, as well as in the stage of others Ucubierated Operations in Russian SoilSunday’s attack was notable for its reach and scale. Ukraine said he had damaged or destroyed 41 Russian bomber aircraft on the bases of the entire vast country. Ukrainian officials said the attack did not endanger any Russian civil.

It was also remarkable for his time, one day before the two parties sit face to face in Türkiye for a second round of direct conversations.

The head of the SBU Intelligence Agency of Ukraine said in a statement on Tuesday that Russia “thought that Ukraine could bomb and kill the Ukrainians with impunity incessantly. But that is not the case. We will respond to Russian terror and destroy the enemy everywhere, in the sea, in the air and on land.”

The head of SBU, Vasyl Maliuk, said in the statement that Ukraine had hit airplanes in four Russian bases, which inflicted more than $ 7 billion in damages in the fleet of Bombarderos de Russia.

The Ministry of Defense in Moscow said on Monday that Russia’s air defenses had intercepted a total of 316 Ukrainian drones in 24 hours, which covers the time of the Ukraine attack. The Russian ministry said that 205 of those drones were beaten outside the “special operation zone”, a term that Kremlin uses to refer to the land that has seized since it launched its full scale Invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The Ukrainian authorities said that, before the dawn on Monday, Russia launched two ballistic missiles and a series of drones in the northeast city of Jharkiv, just kilometers from the Russian border, hurting at least six people, including a child.

Separately, the Russian army said that more than 1,400 Ukrainian troops were killed in northern Ukraine during the previous day.

Russia and Ukraine have the second round of conversations in Türkiye

Despite the strong climbing in the war that makes any advance seem even less likely that before, the Russian and Ukrainian delegations sat in front of the other on Monday in Estanbul for the second round of negotiations in an offer for peace.

It was expected that the representatives of Ukraine, led by the Minister of Defense Rustem Uumev, presented a plan that demanded a “high and unconditional fire in the sky, on land and in the sea as a necessary context and a previous requirement for the peace negotiations,” said the Reuters news agency, citing a text of the Ukrainian proposal he had seen. The proposed truce would last a minimum of 30 days, in line with the calls made by the Trump administration.

It was also expected that Ukraine demanded the unconditional return of all Ukrainian children and civil hostages taken during the war, and those territorial profits obtained by Russia since February 2014, when Russia invaded and illegally annex the Crimean Peninsula, not to be recognized by the international community.

In return, Ukraine is open to “some sanctions” imposed on Russia by the United States and their allies, “but in stages and only gradually, with a mechanism to resume sanctions if necessary.”

Ukrainians also want Russian sovereign assets frozen by Western nations to be used for reconstruction, or remain frozen until repairs are paid.

Moscow No, when entering the second round of conversations on Monday, revealed any new condition or terms for a high hypothetical fire.

The government of President Vladimir Putin has insisted for months that the only way to end war is to address what vaguely calls the “fundamental causes” of the conflict. Russia insists on the war, which Putin calls only a “special military operation”, was caused by NATO ambitions for a greater expansion to the east, and by Moscow’s desire to defend Russian -speaking Ukrainians in the eastern part of the neighboring nation.

Putin and his high-ranking assistants routinely discard pro-Europe, Pro-Oten Zelenskyy as an illegitimate leader of Ukraine. The Russian president has refused to accept the challenge of his Ukrainian counterpart to maintain direct, face to face.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Monday when the conversations were launched that discussions will be considered a Putin-Zelenskyy meeting. “

But there was no confirmation of Ukraine or Russia that a high -level dialogue was imminent. Instead, Türkiye’s reports suggested that the second round of conversations had completed in just over an hour. Zelenskyy, who did not attend the negotiations, told journalists during a visit on Monday to Lithuania, however, that a new exchange of prisoners was being organized between the sides at war.

He did not say how far the planning of an exchange had gone, but a significant Exchange at the end of last month Of approximately 1,000 captured and prisoners of war was the only tangible result of the first round of conversations between Russia and Ukraine.

President Trump has expressed frustration with Zelenskyy and Putin for not accepting a truce. During the election campaign of last year, Trump repeatedly promised to negotiate a end of the war at a few hours to assume the position. The president of the United States recently issued rare acute criticism to Putin, call it “absolutely crazy” To continue hitting Ukrainian cities with missiles while the United States and their partners press for a peace agreement.

Trump wondered in a publication on social networks during the last exchange of prisoners if so. “I could lead to something big? “

Russian officials were summoned by the country’s state media saying that the two parties agreed on Monday to celebrate a third round of conversations, but a date was not established. The officials acknowledged that the future Swaps of prisoners had been a key point of discussion, but the Ukrainian officials said Russia had rejected the call to a high fire of 30 days.

On Monday there was no immediate reaction from the White House to the second round of negotiations in Turkey, but the Trump administration made it clear that Ukraine had not given any early warning of Sunday’s drone attack before those conversations.
