Talks between Ukrainian and US officials in Miami concluded without a breakthrough. President Zelenskyy, committed to peace, will now meet with European leaders in London, including Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and Friedrich Merz, to discuss peace negotiations and potential peacekeeping forces. Macron condemned Russia's actions and emphasized the need for security guarantees for Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russia launched a combined air strike on Kremenchuk, targeting infrastructure and causing outages. Russia also launched over 700 drones and missiles at Ukraine, targeting critical infrastructure like energy sites and railways. The IAEA announced that the protective shield over the Chornobyl nuclear reactor is no longer functioning after being hit by a drone in February.
