Negotiators will meet in the UAE this week, the Ukrainian president said,

A day before Russian, Ukrainian and U.S. teams meet to talk peace, Putin's forces pounded Ukraine's energy infrastructure with dozens of drones and missiles.

Russia has violated a request made personally by US President Donald Trump and launched a massive strike on Ukraine at the height of winter cold. Kyiv is now expecting a response from Washington to this crime,

On Saturday afternoon, top Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev said he had held a "constructive meeting with the U.S. peacemaking delegation" in Florida.

Once again, the Russians disregarded American efforts,” Zelenskyy said. “The U.S. president had asked them to refrain from striking energy and critical infrastructure during talks between our negotiation teams.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that the work of the Ukrainian delegation in peace talks will be adjusted following the Russian strike on the energy sector on 3 February.
