Ukraine launches extensive drone attacks on several Russian airbases.
After eighteen months of preparation, Ukraine’s Operation Spider’s Web involved hundreds of AI-equipped drones targeting military aircraft deep within Russian territory.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the assaults on Sunday will be remembered in history.
He subsequently proposed an unconditional ceasefire during talks in Istanbul.
The European Union is preparing to implement its 18th set of sanctions against Russia, while US President Donald Trump has warned of potentially severe actions against Russia if he deems it appropriate.
So, is this the right moment?
Following the bold attack, does Zelenskyy now possess the upper hand?
