Ukrainian Drone Attacks Shut Down Airports In Moscow

Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow for the second consecutive night leading to the closure of four major airports in the city. The attack comes in wake of the Victory Day parade expected to be attended by Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is set to arrive in Russia on Wednesday for a three-day visit.

Moscow’s Mayor Sergey Sobyanin posted on Telegram asserting that they have destroyed at least 19 drones before they reached the capital city. According to reports, no casualties were reported due to the attack but some debris landed on major highways around the city.

Russian authorities had earlier claimed to destroy 26 Ukrainian drones on Monday. Ukraine has not yet commented on the matter but the Mayor of the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv alleged Russia to also have carried out similar attacks in their territory.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelesnkyy had earlier claimed that he does not believe that Russia will abide by the three-day ceasefire coinciding its Victory Day celebrations. Putin had declared the ceasefire last month citing “humanitarian considerations.” While arriving in Prague on a two-day visit on Sunday, Zelenskyy said that, “We understand who we are dealing with, we do not believe them,”
