Moscow mayor says dozens of Ukrainian drones downed in attack on Russian capital

 "This is a just response to Russian attacks and a response to the prolongation of the war, which needs to be ended," Zelenskyy added.

Andriy Kovalenko, the head of the Counter-Disinformation Center operating as part of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, said that the Moscow refinery is one of the country's largest, with a refining capacity of around 11 million tons of oil per year. The plant, he said, accounts for some 40% of Moscow's

"Even though Putin has deployed almost all of the key air defense and missile defense systems to Moscow, this doesn't save the Russians. Putin is not a guarantee of safety for Muscovites," Kovalenko wrote.

Russia's Defense Ministry said the attack on Moscow was one element of a larger wave of overnight strikes. The ministry claimed that Russian forces downed at least 172 Ukrainian drones overnight into Tuesday morning.

Russia's federal air transport agency, Rosaviatsiya, announced flight restrictions at more than a dozen airports across southern and western Russia, including at all four of Moscow's international airports -- Domodedovo, Vnukovo, Zhukovsky and Sheremetyevo.Elsewhere, flight restrictions affected airports stretching from Sochi on the Black Sea coast to Nizhnekamsk in the Tatarstan Republic, some 750 miles from Ukraine.

Ukraine's air force said Russia continued its own long-range attacks overnight. The air force said in a post to Telegram that Russia launched 132 drones and two missiles into the country in its latest barrage, of which 114 drones were intercepted or suppressed.oth missiles and 16 drones impacted across nine locations, the air force said.

The latest exchanges came as Zelenskyy sat down with Western leaders -- among them President Donald Trump -- at the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, on Tuesday.

On Monday, the Ukrainian leader said he would use his visit to the G7 gathering to again appeal for Kyiv's Western partners to put more pressure on Putin to end the Russian invasion.
