Russia & Ukraine Trade Drone Strikes

Russia and Ukraine have exchanged drone strikes, disrupting air travel and causing fatalities and damage. Photos on social media showed crowds huddling at Russian airports including key international hubs in Moscow and St. Petersburg as hundreds of flights were delayed or canceled due to Ukrainian drone strikes. The attacks followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s announcement of deals with Western partners to boost drone production. Ukraine has increasingly relied on drones to counter Russia’s offensives. Zelenskyy said he also discussed joint drone production with U.S. President Donald Trump in a recent phone call.
