From The New York Times Aug. 30, 2026, 12:56 p.m. ET by Anushka Patil 6, 12:56 p.m. ET Ukraine is preparing for fresh talks with President Trump’s envoys, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday. Russia had launched nearly 1,500 drones over a period of four days, many of them jet-powered, Zelensky said, adding that Ukrainian officials were working to ensure that the country has the interceptors required to down them. Zelensky’s announcement comes just days after John Ratcliffe, the C.I.A. director, made a secretive visit to Moscow. Current and former officials said he did so to urge the Russians to cut a peace deal in light of what he presented as the bleak economic and military reality of the conflict.
