00:00The U.S. envoy to Ukraine warns of a sharp escalation in the war, saying risk levels are going way up.
00:07President Donald Trump's envoy, Keith Kellogg, says the rise in tensions is due to Ukraine's drone strikes on bombers at multiple air bases in Russia.
00:17Now, he said such attacks could trigger unpredictable responses from Moscow, given the strategic threats.
00:23Ukrainian drones had hit airfields in Siberia and Russia's far north over the weekend, striking targets up to 4,300 kilometers away.
00:33Kellogg said the damage to Russian bombers was less important than that of psychological impacts on the Kremlin.
00:40According to White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt, Trump was not informed of the drone strikes in advance.
00:46Meanwhile, peace talks in Istanbul earlier this week saw little progress as Ukraine offered moderate terms while Russia held firm.
