The Facts
Russia and Ukraine traded their largest drone attacks of the war over the weekend.
Russia's defense ministry said it shot down a total of 96 Ukrainian drones on Sunday, including 34 over the Moscow region. It was the largest Ukrainian attack towards the Russian capital since the war started almost three years ago.
The Spin
Every day, Russia unleashes more terror on Ukraine, negating any prospect of dialogue and peace talks. These attacks need a strong response from Western partners, primarily by giving Ukraine the weapons it needs to prevent further attacks.
Russia's defense ministry continues to take decisive action against Ukrainian attacks, shooting down 96 drones deployed in the most recent attack.
