Ukrainian president’s comments come amid reports of heavy fighting in north-east; Russia not invited to talks at Red Sea port city of Jeddah
The latest drone attacks on Moscow reflect a pattern of more frequent and deeper cross-border strikes the Ukrainian government has carried out since launching its counteroffensive in June, the Associated Press reports.

There’s already a certain mood in Russia: that something is flying in, and loudly. There’s no discussion of peace or calm in the Russian interior any more. They got what they wanted.
Gradually, the war is returning to the territory of Russia – to its symbolic centres and military bases, and this is an inevitable, natural and absolutely fair process.
