Ukraine Targets Moscow Again; Russia Crushes Drones Mid-Air Days After Putin Attack Attempts

The message between Russia and Ukraine is no longer subtle, and the targets are no longer symbolic. Ukrainian drones once again pushed toward Moscow, forcing air defences into action and briefly freezing the capital. Two UAVs were shot down, flights halted, and tension surged. Coming just days after two alleged assassination attempts against Vladimir Putin, the timing feels deliberate. As truce talks stall, many see provocation — a high-risk gamble that could trigger escalation and reshape the war’s trajectory.
