This Tuesday, a Ukrainian delegation was preparing to meet with the U.S. Secretary of State in Saudi Arabia to discuss ending the war with Russia, which has been ongoing for three years. However, massive bombings continue on the front lines. This morning, Ukraine attacked Russia with over 330 drones, resulting in at least two deaths and several injuries in Moscow, marking the largest Kiev bombing on Russia in these three years of war.

Most of the drones, 126, were shot down in the border region of Kursk, parts of which are controlled by Ukrainian forces, and 91 more were shot down in the Moscow region. The Russian capital has closed several airports and train stations due to the Ukrainian threat.

In Saudi Arabia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio are already in Jeddah to hold a crucial meeting where Kiev will propose a partial ceasefire with Russia. This Tuesday's meeting is the first between officials from both countries since Zelensky's disastrous visit to the White House at the end of February, which led to a tense dispute with Trump.
