power outages in Ukraine\u2019s capital, Kyiv, as well as the Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, the Ukrainian energy company NPC Ukrenergo said on Facebook.<\/li>\n<li>Ukraine claimed that underwater drones had, for the first time in the war, struck a Russian submarine docked in the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk.<\/li>\n<li>The head of Russia\u2019s Black Sea Fleet press service, Aleksei Rulyov, denied that the underwater drone attack was successful. \u201cNot a single ship or submarine of the Black Sea Fleet located at the base in Novorossiysk Bay was damaged,\u201d he said. \u201cThe enemy\u2019s attempt at sabotage through underwater drones failed to achieve its aims.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span>Ceasefire talks<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"spaced-bullet-spacing\">\n<li>US President Donald Trump said a deal to end Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine was \u201ccloser than ever\u201d after American, Ukrainian, European and NATO leaders met in Berlin for hours of talks on a potential settlement, hosted by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.<\/li>\n<li>European leaders issued a joint statement after the talks, saying that any decisions on potential Ukrainian territorial concessions to Russia can only be made by the people of Ukraine, and once robust security guarantees are in place for Kyiv.<\/li>\n<li>They also said that US and European leaders had agreed to \u201cwork together to provide robust security guarantees\u201d, including a European-led \u201cmultinational force\u201d made up of nations willing to assist \u201cin securing Ukraine\u2019s skies, and in supporting safer seas, including through operating inside Ukraine\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking at a news conference after the talks, Merz said that the US had offered \u201cconsiderable\u201d security guarantees, and that although there is now a \u201cchance for a real peace process\u201d, \u201cterritorial settlement remains a key question\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"regional-security\">Regional security<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"spaced-bullet-spacing\">\n<li>Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov called \u201cthe EU\u2019s aggressive actions the main threat in the world at the moment\u201d, and claimed that the US is trying to put Europe \u201cin its place\u201d, in an interview with Iranian state television.<\/li>\n<li>Germany\u2019s lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, suffered a major email outage. Officials told UK newspaper The Financial Times that they suspect it was a cyberattack, while the Ukraine ceasefire talks were taking place in Berlin.<\/li>\n<li>Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton, the new head of the UK\u2019s armed forces, has called for \u201cnational resilience\u201d in the face of a \u201cgrowing\u201d risk from Russia. \u201cIt means more people being ready to fight for their country,\u201d Knighton said of the threat from Moscow, while also referring to recent comments from his French counterpart, Fabien Mandon, who said France must be ready to \u201close its children\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These are the key developments from day 1,391 of Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine.
