Russia launches massive attack on Ukraine after Abu Dhabi talks fail

Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine hours after two days of talks in Abu Dhabi ended without a breakthrough, killing a woman in Kyiv and damaging infrastructure across eight regions. The overnight assault involved 123 drones and an undisclosed number of missiles, with Ukrainian forces reporting 89 drones and five cruise missiles shot down. Strikes targeted energy facilities in Zaporizhzhia, Odessa, Rivne, and Zhytomyr, causing power outages in Kyiv and other cities ahead of winter. The Abu Dhabi talks, mediated by the US, produced only an agreement on a prisoner exchange. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said there is a "window" for a deal before 2027, while negotiator David Arakhamia expressed hope for a solution before the new year.
