Moscow region

Russia has started rationing fuel following a large-scale Ukrainian drone strike that hit key energy and fuel infrastructure. Reports say Ukrainian long-range drone technology has outmanoeuvred Russian jet-powered drones and air defences, forcing Moscow to restrict petrol supplies in affected regions. The strikes mark an escalation in the ongoing battle over energy targets between the two countries.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has called for the creation of a new Eurasian 'security architecture', speaking in remarks reported by UN News. The proposal signals Moscow's push to reshape regional security arrangements beyond existing Western-led frameworks. The appeal has drawn attention given the ongoing war in Ukraine and debates over the future of European and Asian security order.

Reports indicate around 1,300 drones struck the Moscow region, described as one of the largest drone attacks of the Russia-Ukraine war. Analysts are highlighting the sheer scale of the barrage and what it signals about Ukraine's deep-strike capabilities. The attack is drawing wide attention as observers assess damage, air defence performance, and possible implications for the war's trajectory.
