The key question is how far the U.S. administration is prepared to invest in seeking a real solution to the current crisis, taking the situation on the ground into account.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said the key question was how far the U.S. administration was prepared to invest in finding a real solution to the current crisis while taking conditions on the ground into account. “This situation is not developing in Kyiv’s favor,” Ryabkov said, according to TASS.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of carrying out what he called demonstrative attacks overnight on airports in Kyiv and Boryspil. He said the strikes were deliberate and linked them to discussions about the possibility of a U.S. aircraft traveling to Ukraine and landing at one of those airports.

This situation is not developing in Kyiv’s favor.

“We have taken note of this Russian move,” Zelenskyy said in a post on X, adding that Ukraine would adjust its operations involving Russian airspace the following week because it had become dangerous due to Ukrainian drones and missiles.

“

During the night there were also demonstrative Russian attacks on our airports in Kyiv and Boryspil. Deliberate attacks, for the first time after a considerable period.

Zelenskyy also reported that a Russian strike hit a civilian company in Kamianske, in the Dnipropetrovsk region, killing four people and injuring five. He said other attacks damaged residential buildings in Kherson, Boryspil and the Kharkiv region, while drones struck shopping centers in Sumy and Mykolaiv.

“

We have taken note of this Russian move, and next week we will adjust our operations regarding Russian airspace accordingly, as it has become dangerous because of our drones and missiles in the skies.
