Moscow claims Ukraine planned election disruption
The attack targeting Moscow and its surrounding areas on the last day of the Russian parliamentary elections resulted in two deaths and caused damage in several regions, including an important oil refinery. Russian authorities reported that over 1,600 drones were launched by Ukraine, with Russian air defenses shooting down 1,600 of them, 450 of which were headed towards Moscow, aiming to destabilize the electoral process. Moscow’s mayor confirmed that the attack was intended to disrupt the election results, which are expected to see Putin’s United Russia party win. These assaults occurred despite both Russia and Ukraine having announced their intentions to cease strikes on infrastructure, as leaders of both sides are planning to hold political meetings after the elections.
