Russia hits civilian ships, Black Sea trade at risk | Ukraine Brief

This episode of Ukraine Brief begins with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterating his readiness for talks in any format with Vladimir Putin and announcing upcoming meetings with the “Coalition of the Willing” – first in Ukraine, then later in France.

Despite ongoing peace efforts, Russian forces have continued strikes on Ukrainian cities Monday night into Tuesday, killing at least four civilians and wounding many more across eastern and southern regions. Homes, infrastructure, and energy facilities were also damaged.

With the Kremlin reportedly planning to capture the Zaporizhzhia region in 2026, residents in Zaporizhzhia say they remain confident in Ukraine’s armed forces.

The episode also covers Tuesday’s Russian drone strikes on two civilian cargo vessels in the Black Sea – attacks Ukraine says endanger civilian lives, global food security and constitute war crimes.

We close with reports from BBC Ukraine that UAE-based defense group EDGE plans to acquire a significant stake in Ukrainian drone manufacturer Fire Point, valuing the company at $2.5 billion.
