On Saturday, Russia reported that it had downed 126 Ukrainian drones overnight, primarily over its southern Volgograd and Voronezh regions. This announcement followed Moscow’s rejection of an immediate ceasefire proposal made by the United States.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, earlier in the week, expressed support for a truce with Ukraine but raised “serious questions” regarding its implementation. He indicated a desire to discuss these matters with U.S. President Donald Trump.
The Russian defense ministry noted that 64 of the intercepted drones were over Volgograd and Voronezh, while the remaining drones targeted various border regions.
Ukraine has been actively launching drones into Russia throughout the ongoing conflict, and on Monday, it executed a significant attack on the Moscow region, deploying the largest number of drones since the conflict began in 2022.
