Ukraine attacks Moscow with drone strikes | Global News Podcast

Ukraine’s deputy chief of military intelligence, Vadym Skibitsky, tells the BBC that Kyiv must “destroy and disarm” Russian weapons production and logistics systems. He says that includes the online retailer Wildberries, which Kyiv has accused of aiding the Vladimir Putin's war effort. The Kremlin has said Ukraine launched over 600 drones towards the Moscow region in a fresh attack on Monday night. Russian air defences destroyed more than 180 of them, but several people were wounded, the officials added. Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities say at 17 people were killed in Russian strikes overnight – most of them in the Kharkiv region.
