12.02.2025Dawn of Two Calls Through Saudi
Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv at dawn, killing one person and injuring several, including a child. Air defense intercepted 6 missiles and 71 drones.

By midday, Pentagon chief's statement declaring Ukraine's 1991 borders "unrealistic" shifted media focus from operational updates to diplomatic possibilities. This contextualized subsequent revelations about Trump's direct phone conversation with Putin and immediate follow-up call with Zelenskyy. Both calls centered on potential peace negotiations.

Evening coverage revealed Trump's plan to meet Putin in Saudi Arabia, while parallel coverage tracked SBU chief Maliuk's personal involvement in capturing a high-ranking intelligence official accused of working for Moscow. The day's trajectory from morning violence to evening diplomacy mirrors the week's broader pattern of escalating military pressure concurrent with accelerating peace initiatives.
