Ukraine fires nearly 1,200 drones at Russia as U.S.-led talks consider wider European security

Ukraine launched nearly 1,200 drones at Russian targets overnight, in one of its largest aerial attacks since Russia’s invasion, while U.S. and Russian negotiators expanded peace talks to include Europe’s post-Cold War security arrangements. The shift has alarmed European leaders, who fear it could challenge NATO’s role. U.S. envoys have briefed Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and further negotiations are planned.
