> European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the EU would attend this week's Ukraine peace talks in Abu Dhabi. The Kremlin said only Russian, Ukrainian and US delegations would take part. The US-mediated talks are expected to address ending the conflict, post-war security and de-escalation. Russia's Defense Ministry also reported strikes on Ukrainian military-related targets and said 430 Ukrainian drones were intercepted overnight; debris in the Leningrad region hit buildings and an industrial zone, with no casualties reported.
