Drones Strike Kyiv Again: Russia Accused of 108 Attacks
Russia initiates a drone assault on Ukraine.
In a surprising turn of events, Kyiv and several other regions, including Odessa, Kharkiv, and Dnipro, faced increased air alerts and intensified drone attacks earlier today, according to reports. After the three-day weapons ceasefire ordered by Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin to commemorate the end of World War II expired, Russia is alleged to have launched over a hundred drone attacks on Ukraine.
The midnight to Sunday morning attack, as reported by the Ukrainian air force, involved 108 combat drones of which 60 were successfully intercepted. No significant damage has been reported so far. In response, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko urged citizens to seek shelter in bunkers.
Politics: Putin Proposes Direct TalksMeanwhile, Putin expressed his readiness to negotiate the end of the conflict without preconditions. In his proposition, Putin suggested that direct negotiations take place in Istanbul on May 15. This move appears to be in response to Ukraine's demand for a 30-day weapons ceasefire, initially met with disregard by Moscow.

Despite the ongoing tension, Pistorius voiced his belief that a word from Putin could bring an end to the conflict.
