A Russian drone reportedly destroyed a $3 million U.S.-supplied Bradley tank in Ukraine, as seen in a circulating video. The incident coincides with Russia's renewed offensive near the Sumy region, prompting Ukraine to order evacuations from 11 villages. Russia claims to have captured multiple villages in recent weeks, including Vodolahy in Sumy and Novopil in Donetsk. Meanwhile, deadly drone and missile strikes continue across Ukraine, killing civilians in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson. Ukraine's air force says it intercepted several drones and missiles amid the intensifying assault.

India to get remaining S-400 missile systems by 2026, says Russia
Russia is committed to delivering the remaining units of the S-400 air defence system to India by 2025-2026, the country's Deputy Chief of Mission in India, Roman Babushkin, said on Monday, highlighting that the system performed "very efficiently" during the recent India-Pakistan tensions. Babushkin also hinted at expanding bilateral cooperation with India in air defence and anti-drone systems. "We heard that the S-400 performed very efficiently during the recent clashes between India and Pakistan. We have a long history of collaboration. The air defence systems, according to what we are experiencing, the situation in Europe and here, this is one of the promising topics of our partnership in defence preparation in general," Babushkin told PTI Videos. Babushkin confirmed that the contract for the remaining two S-400 units is on track, with deliveries expected to be completed by 2025-26, in line with publicly announced timelines. India signed a $5.43 billion deal with Russia in 2018 for five squadrons of the S-400 Triumf missile system, a state-of-the-art air defence platform capable of engaging multiple aerial threats at long ranges. Three squadrons have already been delivered. On the potential expansion of defence collaboration, Babushkin expressed openness to further dialogue. "We are open for promotion of this partnership for the discussion of the expansion of dialogue on air defence systems," he said, noting the strategic importance of such cooperation in the current global security environment. Commenting on the growing threat of drones, particularly in light of their extensive use during the India-Pakistan clash, the deputy chief of mission highlighted Russia's experience in countering such challenges. "We are facing this threat for several years already, and I think that our systems are being modernised constantly. I think it would be a joint interest from both sides how to counter this threat and lead to some other cooperation," he said, adding that anti-drone systems are already part of the ongoing India-Russia defence dialogue. Babushkin also provided an update on a possible visit by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to India. "The exact dates are not yet finalised, but it can happen anytime soon. We expect this month," he said.

Peace talks in Istanbul after Ukraine's audacious drone strike; Zelensky warns against rewarding Putin
ISTANBUL: Russia and Ukraine on Monday swapped plans for ending their three-year war during talks in Istanbul aiming to find a way out of Europe's largest conflict since World War II. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said any deal must not "reward" Russian leader Vladimir Putin, but said Kyiv was willing to take the "necessary steps for peace". Urged on by US President Donald Trump, Moscow and Kyiv have opened direct negotiations for the first time since the early weeks of Russia's invasion, but have yet to make progress towards an agreement. Monday's talks come a day after Ukraine carried out one of its most brazen and successful attacks ever on Russian soil -- using drones to hit dozens of strategic bombers parked at airbases thousands of kilometres behind the front line. A first round of meetings in Istanbul last month yielded a large-scale prisoner exchange but no pause in the fighting, which has raged since Russia invaded in February 2022. On Monday the delegations "exchanged documents through the Turkish side, and we are preparing a new release of prisoners of the war," Zelensky said at a press conference in Vilnius just after the talks in Istanbul concluded. "The key to lasting peace is clear, the aggressor must not receive any reward for war. Putin must get nothing that would justify his aggression," he added. Opening the talks at the Ciragan Palace in Istanbul -- an Ottoman imperial house on the banks of the Bosphorus that is now a luxury five-star hotel -- Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the "eyes of the entire world" were watching. Zelensky had said Kyiv was "ready to take the necessary steps for peace", though the Russian and Ukrainian negotiating positions have long appeared irreconcilable.
