Drones target multiple Russian regions, including Moscow, authorities say
Tuesday, 10 September 2024 () More than 140 Ukrainian drones were intercepted in one of the biggest Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian soil in the 2½-year war.
In response to recent Ukrainian drone strikes that damaged residential areas in Moscow's suburbs, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has sharply criticised the attacks, asserting that they have no place in legitimate military operations. Peskov condemned the targeting of civilian infrastructure, describing it as a clear indication of the aggressive nature of the Ukrainian government. He emphasised that Russia must continue its military operations to protect against such attacks, while the Defense Ministry reported intercepting 144 drones during the overnight assault. The intensified drone strikes, which have increasingly targeted both residential and energy infrastructure, have heightened tensions and escalated the conflict.

In a recent press briefing in Riyadh, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov sharply criticised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s peace initiatives, dismissing them as a "pure ultimatum." Lavrov expressed frustration with the West’s adherence to Zelensky's "peace formula," suggesting it reveals a reluctance to negotiate on equal terms with Moscow. He argued that the insistence on Zelensky’s plan indicates a lack of genuine intent to reach an honest resolution. Lavrov also voiced concerns that Ukraine’s supporters are pushing Russia towards a situation that could be portrayed as a strategic defeat. He emphasised that Russia has never seriously considered Zelensky’s proposal, expressing surprise at its continued relevance.
