Sobyanin said the first Ukrainian drones were downed at around 7:30 p.m. Moscow time — 12:30 p.m. EST — on Monday, with interceptions over the capital region continuing through into Tuesday morning. Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces downed at least 69 drones from midnight on Monday through to Tuesday morning. The latest Ukrainian drone strikes come on the eve of U.S. President Donald Trump’s planned meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. The president has expressed frustration with both Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling on both to make concessions to secure a settlement. Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched three missiles and 115 drones into the country overnight, of which 103 drones were downed or suppressed.
