Moscow Drone Attack Escalates Tensions
The high-level talks come amid heightened tensions following a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow, which resulted in the deaths of at least three people and caused damage to multiple buildings. The assault also temporarily shut down several airports in the Russian capital.
A Ukrainian official suggested that the attack should serve as a warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, encouraging him to seriously consider the proposals Ukraine intends to present at the Jeddah negotiations.

The outcome of the Jeddah talks could have a significant impact on Ukraine's strategy in the war and its economic future, particularly regarding access to critical minerals that are essential for defense and technology industries.
