Over 1,382 Days into the War: Key Events Unfold in Ukraine-Russia Conflict
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has entered its 1,382nd day, with both sides continuing to exchange blows. In a major escalation on Sunday, Russian forces launched a large-scale attack on Kremenchuk, a central Ukrainian city, which has left widespread damage.
According to local officials, the extent of the destruction is still unclear. The Kyiv Independent reported that Ukraine's military downed 585 drones and 30 missiles from Russia in the overnight attack, while Russia claimed it launched 653 drones and 51 missiles on Ukraine.
The situation took a worrying turn when Ukrainian power facilities in eight regions were damaged, resulting in blackouts and forcing nuclear power plants to cut their output. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is under Russian control, temporarily lost all off-site power due to military activities before reconnecting to a 330 kilowatt power line.
Russia's Ministry of Defence confirmed the attack on Saturday, stating that its forces had launched a "massive strike" in response to alleged Ukrainian assaults on civilian targets. However, Ukraine denied these claims and said it had targeted Russian oil refineries and shell-casing manufacturing plants.
The conflict has also taken a diplomatic turn with US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, holding talks with Ukrainian officials in Miami. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed hope for genuine peace negotiations with the United States.
French President Emmanuel Macron is also set to attend a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in London on Monday. Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced plans to send a business delegation to Russia ahead of the Ukraine war's end.
The situation remains fluid, with both sides continuing to engage in military operations and diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the conflict.

1,382 days of fighting already 
i feel like we're stuck in a never-ending loop 
the world needs a break from all this violence 
can't we just talk things out 
like how about a global ceasefire 
and some serious peace talks 
the kids are gonna grow up with a whole different world 
and it's just so sad 
! Like, can't we just have a peaceful day for once? 
The blackouts and nuclear power plant scares are super concerning 
.
. With all these world leaders meeting up, maybe they can finally hammer out a peace treaty 
. But until then, I'll just be over here, fact-checking and organizing my news feeds into logical sections 
thinkin about this war for so long now, you'd think people would be tired of fightin... but here we are 
. what I wanna know is, when do we stop? is it always gonna be us vs them? or can't we find a way to sit down and talk? 
.
meanwhile ukraine keep fighting back & its affecting everyone else too 
shouldnt both sides just talk it out? 
It's not like there aren't enough diplomats flying around to sort this out.
️. I hope they're able to rebuild quickly and get back to normal soon.
