Russia launched an overnight drone attack in the Ukrainian port city of Odesa, injuring four people, including three children. The strike comes as Russia claims to have moved a nuclear-capable missile system into Belarus, a day after Russia accused Ukraine of carrying out a drone attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s residence. Russian officials doubled down on the claim Tuesday but refused to provide any evidence. Meanwhile, national security advisers from several European countries are set to meet in Ukraine on Saturday, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Speaking to reporters, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine could be reached within weeks.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk: “The key outcome of recent days is the American declaration, and this is, of course, something new — some were even surprised — the American declaration of the United States’ readiness to participate in security guarantees for Ukraine after the conclusion of peace, including the presence of American troops, for example, on the border or on the line of contact between Ukraine and Russia.”
