Ukraine drones attack Moscow, disrupt Victory Day planning in Russia

Source: ABC News

Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow for the second consecutive night on Monday, as the Russian capital prepared for Victory Day celebrations that Chinese President Xi Jinping and other Kremlin-friendly world leaders are expected to attend.

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said in a statement posted to Telegram on Tuesday that at least 19 Ukrainian drones were shot down en route to the capital overnight. Another four drones were shot down near Moscow on Sunday night.

Sobyanin reported no casualties or serious damage, though said debris from drones fell on a major highway. Russian aviation authorities said flights were also suspended at four of the capital's airports.

The drones shot down over Moscow were among the 202 craft intercepted across Russia over the previous 24 hours, Russia's Defense Ministry said on Tuesday morning.

Putin is obsessed, and he will retaliate. I read he abandoning parts of Ukraine, if that's even true.

And more soldiers on both sides will die. Over 100,000 men are dead or severely handicapped.

Besides viewing all the dead and shredded children of Gaza - now more videos of Ukrainian men with no legs in therapy with prosthetics. Tens of thousands of men paralyzed and missing limbs.

This is why Putin wanted a cease-fire so his parade would not get bombed. Too bad vlad.
