Zelensky confirms sending delegation to peace talks in Istanbul

Ukraine will send a delegation to Istanbul for a new round of direct peace talks with Russia on Monday, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, even as Russia hit Ukraine with a missile strike that killed 12 soldiers and the largest drone attack of the three-year war.

In a statement on Telegram, Zelensky said that Defense Minister Rustem Umerov will lead the Ukrainian delegation.

"We are doing everything to protect our independence, our state and our people," Zelensky said.

Ukrainian officials had previously called on the Kremlin to provide a promised memorandum setting out its position on ending the war before the meeting took place.

Moscow had said it would share its memorandum during the talks. Russia launched the largest number of drones into Ukraine since the full-scale invasion three years ago, Ukraine's air force said on Sunday.

The air force said 472 drones were launched over Ukraine. Russian forces also fired seven missiles along with the drone barrage, said Yuriy Ignat, head of communications for the Ukrainian air force.

Earlier on Sunday, the Ukrainian military said at least 12 Ukrainian service members were killed and more than 60 were injured in a Russian missile attack on an army training unit. /CNA
