Ukraine Hit by Massive Drone Attacks Amid Peace Efforts
Right after peace talks between Russia and Ukraine didn't work out, Russia sent many drones to attack different parts of Ukraine.
This was the biggest attack they've done using drones so far.
Sadly, one person died, and a few others got hurt.
At the same time, Ukraine's leader, Zelenskyy, was meeting with important people from the US and Europe.
They talked about how to stop the fighting and are hoping for help from the Vatican.
Even though people are talking about peace, the fighting continues.
Russia launched its largest drone attack of the war, targeting multiple regions in Ukraine.
The attack followed unsuccessful peace talks and a meeting between Zelenskyy and US officials.
The attacks resulted in the death of a woman and injuries to others in the Kyiv region.
Zelenskyy met with US and European officials, including JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Pope Leo XIV.
US President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak with Putin and Zelenskyy.
