Russia and Ukraine Diplomats Meet in Saudi Arabia for Ceasefire Negotiations

Russia launched a barrage of drones across Ukraine overnight, resulting in at least seven deaths. The attack occurred ahead of ceasefire negotiations in Saudi Arabia, where Ukraine and Russia are expected to hold indirect US-mediated talks on Monday.

The US will mediate talks focusing on a proposed maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, with negotiators in separate rooms relying on intermediaries to convey messages. Ukraine has stated support for a comprehensive ceasefire without preconditions.
