The location at an overview
Before Parade, drones from Ukraine Moscow Air traffic
Russia is preparing for cheering celebrations to remember the end of the World War II in 1945 and demands an ceasefire. But the attacked Ukraine does not participate. Moscow reacts with hardness.
Shortly before the Moscow victory parade at the end of the World War I end 80 years ago, Russia and Ukraine covered each other with air strikes. During a Russian drone attack, two people were killed in the Ukrainian capital Kiev, as Mayor Vitali Klitschko and disaster protection on Telegram announced. Several residential buildings were therefore hit by falling rubble and caught fire. According to Klitschko, eight other people are said to have been injured, including four children. In turn, Ukraine continued its drone attacks on Moscow at night. In the Russian capital, Chinese President Xi Jinping is now expected to visit a four -day visit.
According to Ukrainian information, parts of a house were destroyed by drone debris in a district of Kiev, in another burned apartments in the seventh, eighth and ninth floor of a building. A supermarket was also met there, the head of the military administration, Tymur Tkatschenko, said. According to Ukrainian media reports, explosions were heard during the air alarm. In the morning the air alarm continued in the city – Mayor Klitschko instructed people to take cover.
Moscow Mayor Sergej Sobjanin announced on Telegram that a total of nine drones had been warded off during the night. Nothing became known about damage and victims. The Russian authorities had already reported Ukrainian drone attacks on Monday and Tuesday. The information can hardly be checked independently.
Ukrainian drones disrupt air traffic around Moscow
During the night, air traffic was once again restricted at the Moscow airport Scheremetjewo for security reasons, as the Russian news agency TASS reported, citing the Rosawiazija aviation authority. Previously, the Moscow airports Wnukowo and Domodedowo on the southern edge of the metropolis had to stop the operation entirely, as Rosawiazija announced.
Because dozens of machines could not start or landed, the Russian online medium “Mash” spoke of a “collapse of the capital-city airports”. Arriving planes had to fly queues or were redirected to alternate airports from St. Petersburg to Nischny Novgorod. The Airport from Sochi on the Black Sea also temporarily did no aircraft.
Dispute over ceasefire to commemorative victory
On Friday, Russia wants to commemorate the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in 1945 with a military parade in front of foreign guests in Moscow. Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin therefore proclaimed a three -day break of fire from Thursday to Saturday in his war against Ukraine. Ukraine does not see this as a serious entry into an end to the fights. Like the United States, it calls for a 30 -day ceasefire.
On Tuesday evening, according to the authorities, a Russian ballistic rocket hit the city of Sumy in the northeast of Ukraine and killed at least three people. According to the regional military administration, eight people were violated, including several minors.
A suburb of Sumy was hit. Five houses were destroyed and civilian infrastructure was damaged, it said. The Ukrainian attacks on the Russian region of Kursk run through the border close to the border, so it is therefore always the goal of Russian attacks.
In the evening there was at least 13 explosions in the South Ukrainian city of Saporischschja in the evening with a Russian drone attack. Military governor Iwan Fedorow spoke of three injuries and said there were several fires. The rescue workers suspected in the ruins of a house.

According to the Kremlin, meeting with Russia’s head of state Putin, the construction of a long -planned second gas export management should go to China. International issues are the war in Ukraine and the resumption of discussions between Russia and the United States. On Friday, XI is a guest at the military parade.
