1. Introduction / Background
On Day 1,185 of the Russia-Ukraine war, one of the most extensive aerial attacks on Kyiv since the conflict began has heightened tensions. The assault, characterized by waves of drones and ballistic missiles, underscores the ongoing volatility despite recent prisoner exchanges and talk of potential ceasefire negotiations. Both Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of obstructing peace efforts while civilians continue to bear the brunt of hostilities.
Despite no any ceasefire violations reported following both neighbors reached a ceasefire agreement, the situation remains volatile due to the unaddressed grievances such as the India’s Stance on Indus Water treaty. However, both nations face domestic pressures to assert strength, complicating deescalation efforts.
