Russia Redeploys Air Defenses to Moscow, Kerch Bridge as Ukrainian Strikes Intensify, Military Intelligence Says
Zelenskyy said Russia has moved hundreds of air-defense launchers to protect Moscow, Valdai and the Kerch Bridge after Ukrainian drone strikes.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday that Ukraine's long-range drone campaign forced Russia to redeploy air defenses to protect Moscow and the Kerch Bridge, weakening coverage in other regions.
- Increasingly sophisticated Ukrainian drones can now fly more than 1,500 kilometers, enabling strikes that destroyed over 60,000 metric tons of ammunition at a Russian Baltic Fleet arsenal near St. Petersburg.
- Russia has redeployed nearly 90 air defense launchers to Valdai, a town 500 kilometers northwest of Moscow where Russian President Vladimir Putin has a residence, according to military intelligence.
- While Russia's Defense Ministry claimed air defenses downed 269 drones between Wednesday and Thursday, a Russian strike on a gas station in Ukraine's Sumy region injured four people on Thursday.
- Ukraine is preparing "new, entirely justified steps" to force Russia to choose peace, President Zelensky said, expressing hope for a positive response from international partners on military support.
