Al Jazeera

Russian attacks have left thousands without power in Ukraine, while a drone attack killed two people in Russia, as United States-led peace talks on ending the war, deep in its fourth year, press on. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday that Russian night-time attacks damaged more than a dozen civilian facilities, disrupting power in seven regions. "They still aim to destroy our state and inflict maximum pain on our people." Kyiv and its Western allies have repeatedly said Russia is trying to cripple the Ukrainian power grid and deny civilians access to heat, light and running water for a fourth consecutive winter, in what Ukrainian officials call "weaponising" the cold. Russian attacks left parts of the Kherson region, including the regional capital, Kherson, without power, according to regional head Oleksandr Prokudin.

Ukraine eyes more nonlethal aid, long-term security ties with Japan: senior official

The Japan Times

A member of the Ukrainian State Emergency Service attends a transfer ceremony of special vehicles from Japan to Ukraine in Kyiv in November 2023. With Russia making incremental territorial gains in Ukraine, Kyiv is urging Tokyo to boost its support in areas such as cybersecurity, demining and counterdrone systems, transforming what started as ad hoc, nonlethal assistance into a long-term security partnership. "Ukraine has identified several priority areas," Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Serhiy Boev told The Japan Times in an exclusive interview. These include counterdrone systems that can be integrated with the country's air-defense network, logistics and maintenance support for nonlethal equipment, as well as surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities to enhance maritime domain awareness, particularly in the Black Sea. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

FOX News

Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume explains why President Donald Trump should not remove himself from the peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine and more on'Special Report.' When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, many experts predicted Kyiv's quick fall. When Ukraine pushed back overextended Russian forces, the same experts confidently said that Russia's mass -- a population almost four times larger than Ukraine -- would certainly grind Ukraine down. Triumph for Putin was inevitable. But, an odd thing happened on the way to Russia's victory parade: Ukraine is outfighting Russia.

Drone incursions on US bases come under intense scrutiny as devices prove lethality overseas

FOX News

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., tells Fox News Digital he's frustrated by US officials not being forthcoming about the drone incursions over Langley Air Force Base. FIRST ON FOX: A group of House Republicans is demanding details on how government agencies are addressing the growing threat of unauthorized drone incursions on U.S. military installations. In letters sent Thursday, the Subcommittee on Military and Foreign Affairs requested a trove of documents and communications from the Departments of Defense (DoD), Transportation (DOT), and Justice (DOJ). The letters note that in 2024 alone, there were 350 drone incursions at over 100 U.S. military bases. Lawmakers believe many of the responses to the illegal incursions, including an instance where a group of drones traipsed over Langley Air Force Base for over two weeks in December 2023, have been insufficient and fragmented.
