They Sat Down to Talk Peace. Russia Kept Bombing Ukraine.The Abu Dhabi talks ended without a breakthrough while Russian drones and missiles hit Ukrainian cities and cut power in eight regions. Winter is here, and Ukraine needs us now.
My dear Voice from Ukraine family, First, I want to thank you, on behalf of the people of Ukraine, of Oleksandr, and of every child and family we’ve reached together. What you give matters. To the people on the ground it matters even more to know that people around the world still stand with them. That gives them hope, and hope is what gets people through another night of sirens. For the past two days, Ukraine, Russia and the United States met in Abu Dhabi. It was the first time all three sides had sat at the same table since February. The talks ended today after a short second session, with no breakthrough. The one real result is that Russia and Ukraine agreed to a large-scale prisoner exchange. For families waiting to bring their sons, daughters and husbands home, that is real news. Zelensky called the talks constructive. Ukraine made clear again that it will not give up its land as the price of peace. But while the diplomats were talking, Russia never stopped. Overnight, Russia launched more than 160 attack drones at Ukraine, along with cruise missiles and a guided missile fired from the Black Sea. Over the past day, Russian attacks killed nine people and injured 39 across the country. These are the latest reported figures, and they may still rise. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, three people were killed and five were injured. In the Donetsk region, two people were killed and five more were injured. In the Sumy region, Russian forces attacked 20 towns and villages more than 50 times, and a 14-year-old girl was among the five people wounded. In the Zhytomyr region, five people were injured, police officers among them. A 14-year-old girl. She should be worrying about school and her friends, not about the next drone. Russia went after the power again. The strikes left people without electricity in eight regions: Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Zhytomyr, Rivne and Chernihiv. On Wednesday morning, two Russian cruise missiles also flew through neighboring Moldova’s airspace for several minutes before turning back into Ukraine’s Odesa region. Europe saw again today that Putin’s war does not stay inside Ukraine’s borders. Ukraine is answering. Ukrainian drones hit Russia’s Ust-Luga port on the Baltic Sea overnight. Earlier this week, a Ukrainian strike hit Russia’s second-largest oil refinery, at Kirishi. Ukraine is going after the oil money that pays for this war, and it is not backing down. As I always tell you, watch what they do, not what they say. Russia came to Abu Dhabi and talked about security and peace. That same night it sent drones into Ukrainian homes and cut the power to millions of people as the cold sets in. Ukraine has called for a ceasefire again and again. Real peace starts when the bombing stops. Winter is here. When the power goes out in November, people lose their heat and water and have no way to charge a phone or call for help. For the elderly, the sick and families with small children, that can be the difference between life and death. We cannot wait until families are freezing to decide they need help. That is why Oleksandr is out there every day. In recent weeks, with your support, he has reached children with special needs who must stay in a basement because of the constant bombing. He has reached a bedridden child who cannot leave home because there is no electricity, and a place that rescues and cares for horses. These are only some of the visits that have been documented. His work goes on every single day. Join us live every weekday at 2 p.m. Eastern Every Monday through Friday at 2 p.m. Eastern, Voice from Ukraine goes live.
