"A Ukrainian drone strike ignited fires at one of Russia's Black Sea ports, officials said on Sunday, ahead of fresh talks aimed at ending the war. Two people were wounded in the attack on the port of Taman in the Krasnodar region, which damaged an oil storage tank, warehouse and terminals, according to regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev. Falling debris from Russian drones, meanwhile, damaged civilian and transport infrastructure in Ukraine's Odesa region, officials said, disrupting power and water supplies."
"European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Russia was hoping to win diplomatically what it had failed to achieve on the battlefield, and was banking on the US to deliver concessions at the negotiating table. But Kallas told the Munich Security Conference in Germany on Sunday that key Russian demands including the lifting of sanctions and unfreezing of assets were decisions for Europe. If we want a sustainable peace then we need concessions also from the Russian side."
A Ukrainian drone strike set fires at the port of Taman in Russia's Krasnodar region, injuring two and damaging an oil storage tank, a warehouse and terminals. Debris from Russian drones struck civilian and transport infrastructure in Ukraine's Odesa region, disrupting power and water supplies. The incidents occurred ahead of US-brokered talks between Russian and Ukrainian envoys in Geneva and days before the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion on 24 February. Ukraine secured agreement with European allies on energy and military support packages by 24 February and requested timely deliveries, including air-defence systems. European officials warned that Russian diplomatic demands, such as lifting sanctions and unfreezing assets, require European decisions and that sustainable peace requires concessions from Russia.
