In the U.S., Zelensky was accused of attempting to derail negotiations with Russia

Ukraine’s drone attack on Russian airfields was intended to disrupt peace talks with Russia.

This was stated by Richard Black, a retired colonel and former member of the Virginia State Senate.

“The timing [of the attack] was deliberately chosen to disrupt peace negotiations. It’s become absolutely clear that [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky wants war. He does not want peace,” Black said.

According to him, NATO and the European Union, like Kyiv, are also firmly committed to prolonging the conflict.

On June 1, several Russian regions were attacked by Ukrainian Armed Forces drones. Targets were hit in the Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan, and Amur regions, with Siberia being attacked for the first time. The drones were reportedly transported into these areas in trucks, from which they were later launched.
