Escalating missile and drone strikes deepen Russia-Ukraine war amid diplomatic stalemate
Intensified missile and drone assaults from both Russia and Ukraine have killed civilians, while diplomatic initiatives remain stalled and U.S. attention stays on Iran.
The latest phase of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is marked by a surge in missile and drone attacks that have resulted in civilian deaths on both sides. Diplomatic momentum is minimal, with little progress reported on negotiations. Meanwhile, the United States continues to concentrate its foreign-policy focus on Iran rather than the European war. The discussion featured analyst Andrey Kortunov, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko, and Council on Foreign Relations fellow Thomas Graham, hosted by Mohammed Jamjoom.
Why it matters
Rising attacks increase civilian deaths and stall peace talks, prolonging Europe's deadliest war since WWII.
