Russian and Ukrainian delegates have begun their third set of direct talks in Istanbul, days after US President Donald Trump gave Moscow a 50-day deadline to make peace or face “very severe tariffs.”

The long-range Russian drones come in swarms each night, buzzing over Ukraine by the hundreds, terrorizing the population and attacking targets from the industrial east to areas near its western border with Poland.

Russian officials are reportedly panicking as Ukrainian drones continue to bombard Moscow for the fifth straight night and even succeeded in destroying a train station in the Rostov Oblast region.
