Russia vows to ‘intensify’ strikes on Kyiv after Ukraine’s election-day drone attacks
Ukrainian drones hit a Moscow refinery and logistics site as Russia said its air defenses downed 1,951 drones and eight cruise missiles.
- On September 20, 2026, Ukraine launched its largest-ever drone attack on Moscow, striking the Gazpromneft-Moscow Oil Refinery and logistics facilities during the final day of Russia's parliamentary elections.
- Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin characterized the barrage as a failed attempt to disrupt the election, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the operation targeted infrastructure to degrade Russia's war-sustaining capabilities.
- Over 1,900 drones and missiles were intercepted across Russia overnight, according to the Russian Ministry of Defence, while local officials reported at least two people killed and 20 injured in the Moscow region.
- Following the attacks, Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to meet Tuesday in New York during the United Nations General Assembly to discuss reciprocal de-escalation and peace negotiations.
- Negotiations in New York aim to address the escalating energy war, as Kyiv maintains that long-range strikes remain vital leverage to force Russia into ending the conflict.
