Hours ahead of the US-Ukraine Summit on minerals and peace deal, Ukraine launched record drone attacks on Russia’s capital, Moscow.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that Russian air defence units destroyed at least 11 Ukrainian drones flying towards the capital.
“The drones were downed over the Ramenskoye and Domodedovo districts of the Moscow region. Both districts lie about 40 km (25 miles) to 50 km (30 miles) south and southeast of the Kremlin,” he added.
Russia’s aviation watchdog said that flights were suspended at the Zhukovo and Domodedovo airports following these attacks.
