Ireland EU Summit

Ukraine has launched nearly 1,200 drones at Russian targets in one of its largest aerial attacks since the full-scale invasion began almost five years ago. This comes as negotiators discuss broader European security arrangements, raising concerns among European leaders about the continent and NATO's future. After two days of talks in Abu Dhabi this week, U.S. envoys briefed Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Further discussions are planned, with Europe now included in the negotiations. Meanwhile, Russia's Defense Ministry reports downing 1,198 Ukrainian drones, but attacks on Russian regions have resulted in casualties. The war continues to affect civilians and soldiers alike.
