A dramatic escalation in drone and missile attacks has gripped both Ukraine and Russia, with Kyiv ramping up strikes on Moscow and Russia unleashing some of its largest aerial assaults on Ukrainian cities in months.
The tit-for-tat attacks have caused significant civilian casualties, widespread destruction, and major disruptions at Moscow's airports, with hundreds of flights canceled. Ukrainian drones have repeatedly targeted the Russian capital, while Russian forces have pounded Kyiv and other cities, hitting residential areas, energy infrastructure, and even kindergartens. This surge in violence comes just as both sides are set to engage in high-level peace talks, though expectations for a breakthrough remain low.
The relentless aerial warfare is straining defenses on both sides and deepening the humanitarian crisis.
