One drone targeting Moscow was shot down on the city's outskirts and two others were «suppressed by electronic warfare» and smashed into an office complex early on Sunday, the Russian defence ministry said, adding that there were no injuries.

Following the attacks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that «war» was coming to Russia. «Gradually, the war is returning to the territory of Russia — to its symbolic centres and military bases, and this is an inevitable, natural and absolutely fair process,» Zelensky said on a visit to the western city of Ivano-Frankivsk.

As per media reports, President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of intentionally targeting grain export infrastructure in the southern Ukrainian port of Odesa during a second night of strikes.

Ukraine’s failure to secure an invitation to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato) during the alliance’s annual summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, has disappointed many, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. But although the summit’s concluding statement did not offer a definitive timetable for Ukrainian accession, it did demonstrate a degree of unity and strategic foresight that would have been impossible had Donald Trump still been president of the US. To be sure, Nato leaders’ promise to extend an official invitation to Ukraine “when Allies agree and conditions are met" was somewhat nebulous, and Zelensky, angered by the ambiguity, criticized the Western position as “unprecedented and absurd." But US President Joe Biden was right to suggest that the war must end before Ukraine is allowed to join.

Speaking after talks with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Zelensky said the G7 promises should be seen «not instead of NATO, but as security guarantees on our way to integration». «We can state that the results of this summit are good, but should we receive an invitation, then that would be the optimum,» he said at NATO's summit in Vilnius.
