Waiting for new developments in peace talks, Ukraine has launched a new massive drone attack in several regions of Russia, just like it did on Wednesday.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has stated that their air defenses have shot down 105 Ukrainian drones over various regions, 35 of them in the Moscow region.
The mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, explained that emergency teams had been deployed to the areas where the remains of the drones fell. Additionally, major airports temporarily interrupted their activity.
Zelensky: "Our forces maintain all necessary combat activity"
"Russian assault operations continue, and our forces maintain all necessary combat activity. The most tense situation persists in the Donetsk region, especially towards Pokrovsk. We also continue active operations in the Kursk and Belgorod regions; this is our active and effective defense of the Sumy and Kharkiv regions," wrote Volodymyr Zelensky on his X account.
"The more battles are fought on enemy territory, the more our communities are protected. Unfortunately, the Russians show no signs of a ceasefire and are still not ready to end the war," stated the Ukrainian president.

Rubio Avoids Calling Putin a "War Criminal"
U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, declared on Wednesday that war crimes have been committed in Ukraine but refused to label Russian President Vladimir Putin as a "war criminal."
"Undoubtedly, war crimes have been committed, and who is responsible? There will be a time and place for accountability, but right now the task is to end the war. If we don't, there will be deaths," Rubio stated during a hearing in the House of Representatives.
When questioned by Democratic Congressman Bill Keating about whether the Russian leader is a "war criminal," the U.S. Secretary of State avoided characterizing him as such and pointed out: "We cannot end the war without talking to Mr. Putin."
