Ukraine said that it has completed its biggest long-range attack of the war with Russia on Sunday, after using smuggled drones to launch a series of major strikes on 40 Russian warplanes at four military bases.
Russian President Volodymyr Zelensky says 117 drones were used in the “Spider’s Web” operation by the (Ukraine security service) SBU, striking “34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers”.
Russia confirmed Ukrainian attacks in five regions, calling them a “terrorist act”.
The attacks come as Russian and Ukrainian negotiators are heading to Istanbul, Turkey, for a second round of peace talks this Monday.
