UKRAINE’S Shocking Drone Attack Wipes OUT Russian Bombers Before Peace Talks
— Ukraine launched a huge drone strike deep inside Russia, destroying more than 40 military planes at key airbases. President Zelenskyy called it a “brilliant result” and said the attack would be remembered for years. The drones were hidden in wooden sheds and sent to hit targets far from Ukraine’s border.
Ukrainian leaders say the mission, named “Spider’s Web,” wiped out about one-third of Russia’s strategic bombers and caused $7 billion in damage. These bombers were reportedly used to attack Ukrainian cities. Zelenskyy claimed his own forces planned and carried out the operation over a year.
The timing is crucial as Ukraine and Russia get ready for new peace talks in Istanbul. Zelenskyy said his team will push for an end to fighting, as well as the return of prisoners and missing children.
Russia admitted some planes caught fire but tried to downplay the losses, saying no one was hurt. This strike is a major blow to Moscow just as both sides prepare for talks that could decide what happens next in the war.
