Ukraine-Russia war latest: Ukrainian delegation in US for peace talks as Kyiv hit with deadly drone strike again
A Ukrainian delegation is in the US this weekend to meet Donald Trump’s top leadership for high-stakes talks aimed at shaping a potential peace framework to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.
It follows a fresh overnight attack on Kyiv, which killed at least one person and wounded 19, including four children.
Secretary of state Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the US president’s son-in-law, are holding discussions with a Ukrainian delegation to refine the 28-point peace plan proposed by Trump.
The Ukrainian delegation includes Andrii Hnatov, the head of Ukraine’s armed forces; Andrii Sybiha, Ukraine’s foreign minister; and Rustem Umerov, head of Ukraine’s security council, president Volodymyr Zelensky said.
On Saturday, an official from Ukraine’s security services said it hit “shadow fleet” tankers in the Black Sea as they headed to a Russian terminal to load up with oil bound for foreign markets.
Ukraine used domestically produced Sea Baby drones to strike off the Turkish coast, prompting a rescue operation by the Turkish coast guard. All members aboard the vessels are reported to be safe.
