US and Russian officials are engaging in separate talks with Ukrainian representatives in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, aiming to negotiate a ceasefire in the ongoing Ukraine conflict. Despite these diplomatic efforts, Kyiv has endured a third consecutive night of Russian drone attacks, resulting in casualties and infrastructure damage. US special envoy Steve Witkoff expressed optimism about progress, particularly concerning a Black Sea ceasefire, following his recent meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
