Russia has been bombarded in the biggest Ukrainian drone attack of the war, Moscow officials have said, on the same day as crunch talks are set to be held between Kyiv and the United States.

The Russian Defence Ministry said air defences shot down 337 Ukrainian drones over 10 Russian regions overnight, a record high, as Ukraine hit back at a series of brutal recent attacks launched by Moscow.

At least one Russian civilian has been killed and several injured, with dramatic footage showing fires raging from the exploding drones including in high rise residential buildings near Moscow.

    Have you ever considered that Ukraine doesn’t want peace talks to succeed? Agree with it or not, they want their land back. By attacking Russia in its capital heavily right before peace talks, they’re daring Putin to fume about it and end up violating the ceasefire, giving Ukraine the ability to say “We told you so” and ask for more money from the US and EU.

      Why would they want peace talks between Trump and Putin to succeed? That’s like wishing that peace talks between Hitler and Stalin went great.
