Ukrainian forces launched a massive drone attack on Russia, targeting Moscow and other areas, as Russia concluded its parliamentary elections. This attack, described as the largest on Moscow, resulted in damage to an oil refinery and a residential building, killing two people and injuring 20. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the attack aimed to pressure Russia economically by targeting vital facilities. The elections, held in Russia and illegally annexed Ukrainian regions, are expected to reinforce President Putin’s control. Russia’s Ministry of Defense claimed to have shot down 1,100 drones, with 450 intercepted near Moscow. Ukraine’s advanced drone technology has gained international attention, and Kyiv hopes to make Russians feel the war’s impact, pushing for peace negotiations.
