Today, Kyiv was hit by a Russian drone strike that targeted the headquarters of the Ukrainian Security Service, SBU. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that the attack was aimed at the office of the head of security within the palace, stating that he has ordered an 'appropriate and concrete response' to this event.

Zelensky also emphasized the need to stop Russian raids in conjunction with the visits of U.S. envoys Witkoff and Kushner to Moscow. According to Zelensky, the two American representatives presented a proposal to end the conflict.

Donald Trump, former President of the United States, claimed to have conversations with Vladimir Putin, indicating that the Russian president does not intend to attack NATO territories. This communication appears to be part of a U.S. mediation attempt in the current situation.

In recent days, there have been reports of attacks in Sochi, amid the ongoing tense backdrop of the war in Ukraine. Specific details about these attacks have not been fully disclosed.

The bombing of the SBU headquarters follows a recent armed clash between major Ukrainian intelligence agencies, an event that has raised concerns about the operational readiness of security forces in the country. The situation remains complex, and the government needs to carefully manage its defense resources.

In this context, the Ukrainian government is preparing to face further provocations and Russian attacks, while Trump’s statements suggest that international dialogue may continue, although the details remain uncertain.
