"Ukraine sent drones towards Moscow for the third consecutive night, closing airports, Russian authorities said late on Tuesday. Rosaviatsiya, the air transport watchdog, said Moscow's Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports had flights halted or restricted. Russia usually says all incoming drones were destroyed, regardless of the outcome, and typically gives limited details about the effects of Ukrainian strikes unless civilians or civilian infrastructure are hit. Over the previous two nights, Russia's defence ministry said there were 35 Ukrainian drones destroyed over the Moscow region."
"Ukraine says its long-range drone strikes of recent months on Moscow and other Russian regions are aimed at hitting military and industrial assets, damaging Russia's war economy and bringing the conflict home to Russians. Ukraine also launched several drones targeting the Budyonnovsk industrial zone in Russia's Stavropol oblast, said its governor, Vladimir Vladimirov. Online reporting suggested the drones targeted a petrochemical and plastics plant, with videos showing a fire."
"EU leaders last week stopped short of approving a mammoth reparations loan backed by the assets, because Belgium, where the bulk of the 200bn pot is held, fears facing any legal consequences alone. Instead, they told the European Commission to move ahead with options for funding Ukraine for two more years, leaving the door open for a 140bn reparations loan using frozen Russian assets."
