Ukraine attacks Moscow with 34 drones
Ukraine attacked Moscow with 34 drones, the Russian Ministry of Defense said early Sunday morning.
“Between 7:00 and 10:00 Moscow time, an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack using an aircraft-type [unmanned aerial vehicle] against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation was thwarted,” the Russian Ministry of Defense said in a post on Telegram translated from Russian according to Google Translate.
The Russian Ministry of Defense also said in their post that 70 Ukrainian drones had been “intercepted and destroyed,” including “34 over the territory of the Moscow region.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said early Sunday morning in a post on the social platform X that on the night before, “Russia launched a record 145 Shaheds and other strike drones against Ukraine.”
“Throughout the week, Russia has used more than 800 guided aerial bombs, around 600 strike drones, and nearly 20 missiles of various types,” he added in his post.
The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine is inching closer to the three-year mark, but could face a drastic shake-up upon the return of President-elect Trump to the White House in late January.
The president-elect met with Zelensky last month and highlighted his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the interaction, also implying he could make a deal to end the war “very quickly.”
However, at a rally in South Carolina in February, Trump told a story from his first term in office where he spoke to another leader of a NATO country, saying he would “encourage” Russia “to do whatever the hell they want” if the country was “delinquent” in payments to the security alliance.
