GZERO WORLD WITH IAN BREMMER: Ukraine Brings The War to Russia

Russia said the overnight barrage was the largest in two years and forced temporary airspace restrictions at Sheremetyevo International Airport.

  • On July 18, 2026, Ukrainian drone strikes targeted the Moscow region, causing massive fires at Wildberries distribution warehouses in Elektrostal.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the strategy as imposing "long-range sanctions" to undermine the Kremlin's war machine and disrupt logistics supporting Russia's invasion.
  • More than 430 drones targeted the Moscow region in early July, marking the largest attack on the capital in two years, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
  • Disruptions triggered temporary airspace restrictions at Sheremetyevo International Airport, while fuel shortages led to petrol rationing and long queues at filling stations across Russia.
  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the idea that escalating attacks could force a peace settlement, though Moscow has sought to downplay the campaign's impact.
