Drone attack causes fire at Russian oil port in the Baltic

A Ukrainian drone attack caused a fire at the Russian port of Ust-Luga in the Baltic Sea, a key site for Russian energy exports. Governor Alexander Drozdenko reported that 146 drones were neutralized in the Leningrad region overnight. The attack coincided with ongoing negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi, mediated by the U.S. President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed satisfaction with the changes in the U.S. mediation approach and discussed a potential large prisoner exchange. The conflict continues as Russia demands territorial concessions from Ukraine, including regions annexed in 2014.
