Russia said it was hit by a “massive” drone attack overnight Tuesday, hours ahead of critical talks between officials from Washington and Kyiv.

The assault, which the mayor called the largest on Russia’s capital since the war began, was a reminder of Ukraine’s power to strike as its president proposes an air truce.

Ukraine launched its biggest ever drone attack on Moscow, killing at least two workers at a meat warehouse, injuring 18 others and causing a short shutdown at the Russian capital's four airports, Russian officials said.
