In a dramatic escalation, Russia’s Ministry of Defense reported shooting down 112 Ukrainian drones overnight across 13 regions, including Moscow, Crimea, and Tula. Air traffic was disrupted at major airports, and debris caused injuries and damage in Lipetsk. This wave is part of Ukraine's intensified drone campaign, with nearly 500 UAVs intercepted nationwide since Tuesday. The assault comes as Russia prepares for major wartime commemorations, raising concerns about air defense vulnerabilities and retaliatory responses in an increasingly volatile conflict zone.

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the Russia–Ukraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Pope’s willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraine’s persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscow’s draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur.
