Russian air defense systems shot down 105 Ukrainian drones overnight on May 22, including 35 intercepted over Moscow Oblast, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that all the drones were flying toward the Russian capital.

Hundreds of Ukrainian kamikaze drones have flown towards Moscow in recent weeks. None appear to have even reached the Russian capital, yet the effect on the city — and the wider country — has been hugely significant.

As Ukrainian drones strike deep into Russian territory, they are disrupting day-to-day life and reminding Russians that the war is not confined to the trenches.

A flight carrying an Indian parliamentary delegation, led by DMK lawmaker Kanimozhi, experienced a 40-minute delay upon arrival in Moscow due to temporary airport closures. These closures were prompted by a series of Ukrainian drone attacks targeting the Russian capital,

At the Domodedovo International Airport, Kanimozhi and members of her team were received by Indian Ambassador Vinay Kumar and other officials.

Ukraine pioneered the use of small drones on the battlefield. But in Russia’s Kursk region, Moscow’s fiber-optic cables helped turn the tide.

Ukraine's military launched what has been described as the largest drone assault on Russian territory since March.

Our position is very simple we cannot take responsibility for what happens on the territory of the Russian Federation,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated, highlighting the nature of the geopolitical tensions now playing themselves out across Moscow’s airspaces.
