The source says the attacks were occurring amid an escalating wave of deadly Russian strikes on Ukrainian civilians. It does not provide additional operational details from the meeting beyond DiCarlo's call for immediate diplomatic action.

The source also says drones are reshaping the battlefield in Ukraine while creating new and increasingly complex dangers for civilians, and threatening recovery efforts, agriculture and global food security long after the fighting ends.
