The use of sanctions failed to deter Russia from invading Ukraine and failed to persuade Moscow to end it - and yet despite one of the most dramatic escalations.. Sky News
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 dramatic interview with RT’s Anna Knishenko, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Israel and Ukraine of deliberately instigating major regional conflicts to address their own issues. Lavrov claims that Israel is leveraging current tensions to resolve long-standing conflicts with Hamas, Hezbollah, and pro-Iranian groups, while avoiding direct engagement from Tehran. He also draws a parallel with Ukraine, suggesting President Volodymyr Zelensky is trying to entangle Western powers, including the US and NATO, into a direct confrontation with Russia. Lavrov's statements reveal a contentious perspective on the geopolitical manoeuvring by both nations, highlighting the complex and volatile nature of current international conflicts.
