AI Summary
Main Idea: Russia launched a huge overnight attack on Ukraine as U.S. adviser Steve Witkoff joined talks aimed at finding a path to peace.
Key Points:
- Ukraine said Russia fired 653 drones and 51 missiles, with air defenses stopping most of them.
- At least eight people were wounded, and several regions were hit, including energy sites and a train station.

Impact on the People
Negative Impact
The attacks can keep energy prices and market worries high for US households and businesses, while a nuclear plant losing off-site power shows the risk of wider disruption.
Positive Impact
US-backed talks led by Steve Witkoff could move peace talks forward and, if successful, reduce war-related costs for consumers and taxpayers.
