London – At least 10 Ukrainian drones were killed on their approach to Moscow during the night of Sunday morning, according to the mayor of the city, with temporary restrictions introduced in two of the capital’s airports.
Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the emergency services had been sent to the impact sites of the slaughtered drones. The Ministry of Defense of Russia said that unrelated planes attacking Moscow were part of 67 Ukrainian drones slaughtered overnight.
In the south of the capital region, the governor of the Tula region, Dmitry Milyaev, reported a drone attack on the chemical of azot in Novomoskovsk and a fire caused by the fall in debris. Two people were injured, Milyaev wrote on Telegram. “The situation is under control,” he said.

The past few weeks have seen the two parties intensify their long-term strike operations, even though the peace talks in the United States are continuing in order to end the 3-year invasion of its neighbor by Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday evening that his nation needed to strengthen “urgently” its air defense capacities in response to the intensification of Russia’s missiles and drones against the cities of the country.
The city in the northeast of Kharkiv – which is about 19 miles from the Russian border – was one of the people attacked this weekend. At least three people were killed and 23 injured on Saturday, the local military administration chief. At least four other people were killed by strikes elsewhere in the country, officials said.
“We are working to strengthen the air defense of Ukraine,” said Zelenskyy, according to a reading published on the website of his office. “We need urgency of the United States positive signals – concrete signals concerning air defense systems. We are still waiting for a response to our request to buy systems that can help – concrete signals, not words.”
“I would like to thank European countries for supplies,” he added. “We must also obtain results in the joint production of air defense and missile systems for them – this is absolutely essential for all of our Europe. Only time separates us from this result, and what matters most is to shorten this time.”
Zelenskyy and his senior officials supervised the expansion attacks of Russia – and the growth of Ukrainian civilian personalities – like proof that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not authentic in his apparent desire to negotiate a peace agreement.
Russia’s latest dams followed the secret secret operation of last weekend in which the agents used more than 100 hidden drones in large trucks to attack strategic bombers in the depths of Russia. Moscow has promised revenge for strikes, which Ukrainian officials celebrated as a historical success.
Zelenskyy said on Saturday that recent strikes from Russia on Ukrainian cities could not be excused as “reprisals”, and once again urged Western partners to force Putin to facilitate the maximum peace requirements that is equivalent to Ukrainian capitulation.
“No form of pressure on Russia can be reduced,” he said. “The Russians are preparing to continue the war and ignore all the peace proposals. They must be held responsible for this.”

“We are aware that the Russians are now trying to show that they would be safe from any pressure,” added Zelenskyy. “But it is very important that the world understands: just as pressure has forced Russia to enter the negotiation process, pressure can force Russia to become realistic in negotiations.”
“This is possible precisely because of the pressure, and above all, sanctions against Russian oil and those who still exchange with Russia,” he said. “Russia must put an end to this war that it began. They must be pushed into this result.”
