Russia
Politics

- Putin has not been included in the Kremlin's delegation, raising questions about his involvement in the negotiations.
NATO
- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is scheduled to meet with his Ukrainian counterpart Andrij Sybiha in Antalya, discussing coordinating positions during this critical week.
Cyber War
- Fancy Bear, a notorious Russian hacker group, has targeted arms companies that supply weapons to Ukraine, focusing particularly on those with Soviet weapons technology in Bulgaria, Romania, and Ukraine.
Attack on Ukraine
- A wave of drone attacks, primarily by Ukraine, has forced repeated closures of Russian airports, causing costs for airlines to reach around 11 billion euros since January.
The potential implications for Ukraine involve a significant boost in its long-range strike capabilities if Taurus cruise missiles are supplied, complementing its existing arsenal and potentially shifting battlefield dynamics. However, such deliveries could be perceived as a major escalation by Russia, potentially complicating diplomatic efforts or intensifying military responses.
