Russia vows to ‘intensify’ strikes on Kyiv after Ukraine’s election-day drone attacks
The talks follow a phone call as Washington seeks de-escalation steps and renewed negotiations after intensified fighting.
- On Sunday, September 20, Ukrainian forces launched a massive drone assault on Moscow as voting closed for Russia's parliamentary elections; Mayor Sergei Sobyanin described it as the "largest ever" attack on the capital.
- President Vladimir Putin's government framed the parliamentary vote as a test of national unity behind the war, while Ukrainian forces deployed domestically produced Flamingo and Pelican missiles to target energy infrastructure and disrupt the proceedings.
- Three people were killed and 20 injured in the Moscow region, according to Moscow regional Governor Andrey Vorobyov, with damage reported at the Moscow Oil Refinery and residential buildings, a facility processing nearly 12 million metric tons of oil annually.
- Authorities reported widespread cyberattacks on election infrastructure alongside the aerial assault; Central Election Commission Chair Ella Pamfilova stated voting continued smoothly, with partial results showing United Russia leading at 57.5%.
- The escalating aerial duel between Moscow and Kyiv reflects a systematic strategy to degrade Russia's fuel supply chains, with analysts noting the strikes compound economic strain as the Kremlin seeks to consolidate its parliamentary mandate.
