A dramatic escalation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has seen both sides intensify aerial attacks, with Russia launching massive drone and missile barrages on Ukrainian cities, causing civilian casualties and widespread destruction.
Ukraine has responded with repeated drone strikes deep inside Russian territory, including Moscow, leading to temporary airport closures and flight disruptions. The surge in attacks comes as high-level talks on weapons support and peace negotiations are underway, but both sides remain far apart on key issues. Russia's increased use of drone swarms is straining Ukraine's defenses, while Ukrainian strikes are disrupting Russian infrastructure.
The ongoing tit-for-tat assaults highlight the war's growing intensity and the challenges facing diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.
