President Vladimir Putin pledged to boost air defenses around Moscow after the Kremlin blamed Kyiv for the biggest attack on the Russian capital since the invasion of Ukraine started. Russia said it downed eight drones.
UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly backed Ukraine’s right to strike into Russia in self-defense, edging closer to support of such actions than the US or some other NATO allies. “Legitimate military targets beyond its own border are part of Ukraine’s self-defense,” he told reporters in Estonia, although he said he wasn’t commenting on the most recent attacks.
