Ukraine launched a large-scale drone attack on Moscow early Wednesday morning, targeting oil refineries and a shopping center. The attack, reportedly involving hundreds of drones – 550 claimed intercepted by Russia – resulted in significant damage and widespread fires, visible as heavy smoke over the city. This marks one of the largest attacks on Moscow since the start of the war in Ukraine four years ago. The strikes represent a shift in Ukraine’s strategy, moving from self-defense to directly targeting Russian territory with the aim of making the war more tangible for the Russian population. Ukraine is focusing on economic targets, particularly the energy sector, causing disruptions in fuel availability in some regions. The attack follows months of similar strikes on Russian oil storage facilities and refineries, indicating a sustained effort to inflict economic pain. Ukrainian President Zelensky has repeatedly stated the need to “bring the war to Russia.”
