Russia's war against Ukraine
Putin's Envoy Held “Constructive” Talks in Washington. Over the Same 24 Hours, Russian Drones Were Killing People in Kyiv
Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's special envoy, held talks with Trump administration officials in Washington that both sides called “constructive” — on ending the war and postwar energy projects. No Ukrainian representatives were present. The same day, a Russian drone struck the National Academy of Sciences in central Kyiv, killing at least two people, and the Kremlin said Ukraine would “pay a price.”
