The strike comes days ahead of fresh U.S.-brokered talks aimed at ending the nearly 4-year-old war.

AI Summary
Main Idea: A Ukrainian drone strike hit a Russian Black Sea port and caused a fire as the war neared new U.S.-brokered peace talks.
Key Points:
- The strike at the port of Taman in Russia's Krasnodar region damaged an oil tank, a warehouse, and terminal areas, and at least two people were hurt.
- Russia said more than 100 workers battled several fires at the port, while other strikes also caused damage in Sochi and a nearby village.

- The attack happened just before new talks in Geneva, where the United States is pushing Russia and Ukraine to discuss a possible path toward peace, though big gaps remain.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
More attacks on Russian oil sites and Ukrainian power lines can keep energy markets shaky, which may mean higher fuel costs and more price pressure for US households and small businesses.
Positive Impact
US-brokered talks may still lower war risk and help calm markets if they make progress,.
