Russian authorities closed several airports for hours due to drone attacks from Ukraine, downing 19 drones in Moscow without reported casualties. The attacks, increasing in frequency, serve as a reminder of the ongoing war that started on February 24, 2022. This escalation comes ahead of a major military parade marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Russia, where President Putin will speak. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy criticized Putin's call for a ceasefire during this period, calling it hypocritical while Russia maintains its offensive actions against Ukraine.
Russian authorities were forced to close a dozen airports for several hours Tuesday following a second night of Ukrainian drone attacks. The scale of the attacks is unclear at the moment and Kyiv has yet to comment.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has scoffed at Putin's proposal for a ceasefire, emphasizing that Russia continues its attacks on Ukraine daily. He labeled the call for a ceasefire 'cynicism of the highest order'.
