"Russia said it was hit by a “massive” Ukrainian drone attack overnight Tuesday, just hours before critical talks between officials from Washington and Kyiv began.
"Moscow’s defense ministry said it had downed 343 drones it claimed Ukraine had fired at Russia, of which 91 had targeted the Moscow region. It also said six Ukrainian strike drones were intercepted near Russia’s Kursk nuclear power plant."
This makes perfect sense in a Trumpian negotiating view (and might be orchestrated by Trump for that reason). Demonstrate that Ukraine still has the power to carry the war to the Russian capital. This should remind Putin that they still have something to lose by delaying a cease-fire.
Even if a cease-fire turns out to be only a temporary halt in fighting, it gives Ukraine time to rebuild infrastructure and get more munitions from Europe.
