Russia says intercepted 159 Ukrainian drones
Russia intercepted 159 drones launched by Ukraine over 12 hours at several Russian regions, including Moscow, the military said in a statement on Wednesday.
The drones mostly targeted Russian regions bordering Ukraine and were launched from 8:00 pm Moscow time (1700 GMT) Tuesday until 8:00 am on Wednesday, said a defence ministry statement.
The barrage came two days after a two-hour call between US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin failed to clinch a breakthrough toward a ceasefire in the three-year conflict.
European diplomats have been pressing Moscow to agree to a truce.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused the Kremlin of stalling in order to continue its offensive.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday he expected Russia to present a Ukraine ceasefire outline within days that will show if it was serious.
