A signal to Putin: Ukraine conducts its largest aerial attack on Russia, deploying more than 300 drones.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that on the night of March 11, air defense systems “intercepted and destroyed” 337 drones. The following regions were affected: Kursk, Moscow, Bryansk, Belgorod, Ryazan, Kaluga, Lipetsk, Oryol, Voronezh, and Nizhny Novgorod. Seventy-three drones were shot down over the capital region of the Russian Federation alone, resulting in deaths and approximately 20 injuries in the area.

Following the attack, restrictions were imposed at several airports – Zhukovsky, Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, and Domodedovo. In the Belgorod region, a power line was damaged, leaving 36 settlements without electricity. In Ryazan, a military facility – the Diaghilev airfield – was struck.

Previously, Ukraine’s largest attack took place on January 14, when the Russian Federation claimed to have shot down 180 drones.

The Center for Countering Disinformation noted that the largest drone assault on the Moscow region served as a signal to Putin that he should also consider pursuing a ceasefire from attacks through the air.

“Not only oil refineries; drones can be deployed en masse over Moscow,” said the head of the Center, Andriy Kovalenko.
