Ukrainian drones target Moscow because foreign leaders come to the world news for red square parade

The Ukrainian long -range drone attacks caused flying disintegration at Moscow’s main airports for a third straight day on Wednesday, as Russia designed to receive Chinese President and other foreign leaders for the annual victory day military parade at Red Square. The Russian flag carrier Aroflot canceled more than 100 flights from Moscow. More than 140 flights were delayed as Russian aircraft were repeatedly placed on the ground, shown the flight figures, as the authorities described the Ukrainian drone as a threat and extended safety measures around the incidence of Victory Day. The Russian Air Defense canceled an attack by about nine drones in the Russian capital, said Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobinin. Although Ukrainian drone has targeted Moscow in the past, continuous attacks appeared to disrupt preparations for the 80th anniversary ceremony, marking the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II – Russia’s largest secular holiday of the year. Repeated attacks could have unheard the Russians, which President Vladimir Putin has said that the war with Ukraine is going well for more than three years, as well as shaming them potentially in front of his magnificent guests. Security is expected to be tight for Friday’s centerpiece parade. Foreign dignitaries, including Chinese President Xi Jinping and Brazilian President Luiz Inecio Lula Da Silva arrived on Wednesday. Russia is planning a unilateral 72-hour ceasefire to match the ceremony in Moscow. In March, the United States proposed a 30-day truss in the war, which Ukraine accepted, but the Kremlin has excluded the terms of ceasefire to liking it. Vice President JD Vance said on Wednesday that the US appreciated Ukraine’s desire for a ceasefire, but the US was trying to move beyond this. “What the Russians have said is ’30-day ceasefire is not in our strategic interests.” So we have tried to move forward with passion with a 30-day ceasefire and more, what will it look like? ” He said. Vance said that the next steps Russia and Ukrainian are to interact directly. Ukrainian President Volodimier Zelansky said in the last weekend that his country could not provide security assurance to foreign officials who plan to visit Moscow incidents. He said that Russia can staging provocation and later try to blame Ukraine. “Our situation is very simple: we cannot take responsibility for what happens in the field of Russian Federation,” he said. “They are going to provide your safety, and we will not give any guarantee.” Zelansky said that he had directed Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry to advise a foreign delegation against visiting Russia during this period. Russian flight ban Baltic countries Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which are planning to close Serbia and Slovakia leaders on the border of Russia and its Kaliningrad Exclusions, to shut down their airspace for Moscow, the officials said this week for ceremonies. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausad said on Wednesday, “Who can deny that in such an active cyber background … that someone will not use it as a potential provocative to create problems and risks for the flight of these people through the Republic of Lithuania.” The Russian Tour Operators Association said the flight restrictions in Russia due to the dangers of Ukrainian drones, including temporary closure at airports at Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi and other places. The Russian public holiday in early May, including the days around Vijay Day, is a popular time for many Russians to go on holiday and travel abroad. The XI’s visit to Russia will be his third as Kremlin started a full -scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Xi last visited a visit in Moscow in March 2023, who issued a arrest warrant for the Russian leader on charges of alleged involvement in the abduction of thousands of children from Ukraine, a few days later, Putin was given a significant political boost. He traveled to the Russian city of Kazan in September 2024 for the Summit of BRICS block of developing economies. Kremlin announced on Tuesday that Putin would travel to China in late August and early September. Since after Russia’s its neighbor’s invasion, Moscow has come close to China as Western countries have demanded Putin to be diplomatically separated. Russia has become economically rapidly dependent on China due to Western sanctions.
