Hope for peace was short-lived. Hours after peace talks wrapped up in Abu Dhabi, Russia launched a large wave of attacks on Ukraine.
Russian forces hit the country with ballistic missiles and suicide drones. These are small, cheap planes packed with explosives that fly into a target and blow up on impact.
Russia says it was targeting military factories. Meanwhile, people on the ground are facing a very tough situation. The attacks have hit power systems, leaving many Ukrainians in the dark and the cold as winter approaches.
Officials say the country's electricity supply is now in a critical state. It is getting very hard to keep the lights and heat on for millions of people.
At the same time, there are reports of drone alerts in Baltic nations near the area, showing that the tension is spreading. Russia and Ukraine are continuing to trade strikes, and there is no sign of the fighting slowing down after the failed peace talks.
