In a bold and unprecedented move, Ukraine launched one of its largest drone attacks on Moscow, the capital of Russia, since the start of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Despite the Russian authorities claiming to have successfully destroyed all the drones targeted at Moscow, this attack marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two countries.
As the fighting continues to rage in Kursk and eastern Ukraine, tensions are running high on both sides. To provide insights into the situation, FRANCE 24’s Delano D’Souza spoke with Dr. Samuel Ramani, an expert on Russian affairs and author of “Putin’s War on Ukraine”. Dr. Ramani, who is an Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) and a Tutor of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford, shared his analysis on the latest developments in the conflict.
The use of drones in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine highlights the evolving nature of modern warfare and the increasing reliance on technology in military operations. With both sides engaging in strategic maneuvers and escalating attacks, the situation in the region remains volatile and unpredictable.
The drone attack on Moscow serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of the conflict on civilians and infrastructure. As the world watches the events unfold in Ukraine, the international community continues to call for a peaceful resolution to the crisis and an end to the violence that has engulfed the region.
