Since the start of the conflict, Ukraine has carried out its largest drone attack on Moscow.

On Tuesday, Ukraine launched a series of drone strikes on the Moscow region, resulting in the death of one woman, the destruction of numerous homes, and the rerouting of over 50 flights from the Russian capital, according to Reuters' reporting.

Since the start of the war, Kyiv has reportedly carried out the largest drone strike against Moscow.

Russia, which has frequently used drones and missiles in its attacks against Ukraine and frequently bombards Kyiv with a barrage of aerial attacks, announced that it destroyed at least 20 Ukrainian drones in the Moscow region and another 124 in eight other regions.

Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesperson, stated that the attacks on the Russian capital, with a population of approximately 21 million, were not legitimate military targets.

The Kyiv regime continues to demonstrate its nature by not allowing nighttime strikes on residential neighborhoods to be associated with military action, he told reporters.

He stated that they are our enemies and we must continue the special military operation to safeguard ourselves from their actions, echoing the language used by Moscow to describe its invasion of Ukraine.

Reportedly, Russia attacked Kyiv with 46 drones, of which 38 were destroyed by Ukrainian defenses. Kyiv has not yet commented on the overnight strike.

This week, Antony Blinken, the U.S. Secretary of State, and David Lammy, the British Foreign Secretary, will journey to Ukraine to meet with their Ukrainian counterpart and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"Blinken stated that it is a crucial time during the intense, all-fighting season as Russia continues to escalate its aggression against civilians, critical infrastructure, and Ukrainian forces. Russia is intensifying its attacks on cities and people, particularly targeting energy infrastructure."

Blinken highlighted Putin's strategy of weaponizing Ukraine's energy infrastructure during winter months, as he has done in the past two years, and stated that this trip demonstrates the US and NATO's dedication to helping Ukraine defend against Russian attacks.

The Blinken-Lammy visit this week will address the concerns of the Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, who echoed the U.S. secretary of state's concerns on Tuesday. The Kyiv Independent reported that 85% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure is protected against anticipated Russian attacks.

For months, Ukrainians, including those in Kyiv, have experienced sporadic power outages due to Russia's relentless assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure in March, which resulted in the destruction of 80% of the thermal generating capacity of DTEK, the nation's largest private energy company.

Officials warned in June that Ukrainians may face power outages for up to six hours a day this winter due to the extent of grid damage.

On Tuesday, Shmyhal did not reveal the extent of the grid restoration or the duration of power outages that Ukrainians may have to endure this winter.

The Ukrainian government has allocated $461 million to protect energy facilities and received an additional $315 million from foreign allies to secure Ukraine's energy industry.
