Russia launched an overnight barrage of 85 attack drones and a single Iskander-M ballistic missile against Ukraine between Friday and Saturday, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. Kyiv said its air-defence network downed or suppressed 61 of the drones, identified as Iranian-designed Shaheds, but reported strikes on at least 12 sites across the Sumy, Donetsk, Chernihiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions. No casualty figures were immediately released. The attack coincided with a high-profile meeting in Alaska between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, their first in-person talks since 2020. The summit ended without a cease-fire agreement, though Trump said a broader “peace deal” remained possible after planned consultations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy next week. The timing of the drone barrage underscores the widening gulf between battlefield realities and diplomatic efforts to halt the 30-month-old war.
