Introduction

Ukraine and Russia are fighting more. Russia said no to a peace meeting. Now, Ukraine is using drones to attack Russia.

烏克蘭與俄羅斯的戰鬥更加激烈。俄羅斯拒絕了和平會議。現在，烏克蘭正使用無人機攻擊俄羅斯。

Main Body

President Zelensky wrote a letter to President Putin. He wanted a meeting to stop the war and trade prisoners. President Putin said the letter was rude. He said he will not meet until Ukraine stops fighting and gives Russia more land.

澤連斯基總統寫了一封信給普丁總統。他希望透過會議停止戰爭並交換俘虜。普丁總統表示這封信很無理。他說在烏克蘭停止戰鬥並將更多土地交給俄羅斯之前，他不會會面。

Ukraine then sent many drones into Russia. The drones flew 1,000 kilometers to St. Petersburg. They attacked military buildings. Russia stopped 376 drones. The leader of the city told people to stay at home.

隨後烏克蘭向俄羅斯派遣了許多無人機。這些無人機飛越 1,000 公里到達聖彼得堡。它們攻擊了軍事建築。俄羅斯攔截了 376 架無人機。市長要求市民留在家中。

Ukraine also attacked oil tanks in other areas. This makes it hard for Russia to move fuel and food in Crimea. There is also danger at a nuclear power plant. In Armenia, people will soon vote to choose their friends.

烏克蘭還攻擊了其他地區的油槽。這使得俄羅斯難以在克里米亞運送燃料和食物。核電廠也存在危險。在亞美尼亞，人們很快將投票選擇他們的盟友。

Conclusion

The leaders do not speak now. Ukraine is using more long-distance attacks.

兩國領導人目前沒有對話。烏克蘭正增加長距離攻擊。
