60,000 air passengers on a huge drone attack

Local officials say at least 60,000 passengers have been crossed in airports throughout Russia due to a huge attack by Ukrainian drones.

The Association of Tourist Organizations in Russia (ATOR) says that 350 flights have been affected since Tuesday evening in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi and many other cities.

Ukraine says a Russian and night attack of the missile attack killed two people in Kyiv.

A barrage of strikes came when the Russian ceasefire was scheduled to start for three days on Wednesday night, before a display in World War II in Moscow on May 9.

KYIV has repeatedly rejected the idea of ​​the armistice as a “theatrical play”, which it repeated its invitation to a 30 -day unconditional shooting, which is also supported by Ukraine allies in Europe and the United States.

Russia has issued a set of difficult conditions for any possible settlement – a step that Ukraine and many European politicians described as an attempt to prolong the fighting and finally forced Kiev to surrender.

On Wednesday, US Vice President JD Vance said, “We believe that they (the Russians) are asking for a lot,” in a clear stiffness of his position towards Moscow.

“It is extremely important for the Russians and Ukrainians to start talking to each other,” Vans added.

He also took a less strict tone towards Europe than in recent months, saying, “I still think that the United States and Europe are in the same team.”

He suffered three airports that serve Moscow – Vnukovo, Shermementyevo and Domodedovo – according to the Russian tourist tourists Association, which added that 110 trips were canceled in the capital.

The mayor of Moscow Serge Sobianin said that 19 drones had been shot down near the city since Tuesday evening.

In St. Petersburg, the second largest city in Russia, 55 flights were canceled or delayed.

The airports have also been informed in many other cities, including Sochi, Kazan, Kirov and Nizamkksk as well.

The problems of Russian air traffic came at a time when Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow in the military procession on Friday in Reed Midan to celebrate the eighties to beat Nazi Germany.

A plane carrying Serbian President Alexander Fotic to Moscow was to stop the short emergency in Baku in Azerbaijan, due to the drone attacks through Russia, according to local reports.

Vocic later resumed his journey, and eventually fell in Moscow. According to what was reported, two republics in the Baltic, Lithuania and Latvia, refused to allow him to pass the airspace.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who is believed to be the only European Union leader who planned to attend, complained that the Estonia government refused to allow him to fly over the airspace, which he said was very annoying to his grandparent.

The government in Tallinn said it has no intention to support the Moscow procession and assured European Union colleagues that participating in “Russian propaganda events should be excluded.”

Russia says 27 world leaders are traveling to Moscow. Louise has already arrived in Brazil Lula da Silva and Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro already.

Three days The ceasefire suggested by Putin last month It was scheduled to start at midnight Moscow time on Wednesday (21:00 GMT), to coincide with the commemoration of victory in World War II throughout Russia.

Putin launched a large -scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and Moscow is currently controlling about 20 % of Ukrainian lands, including the southern Crimea Peninsula, which was illegally included in 2014.

US Vice President JD Vance told Washington on Wednesday that he was not pessimistic after the Russians did not want to end the war.

“We would like the Russians and the Ukrainians actually agreed on some basic guidelines for sitting and talking to each other,” he said.

The administration of President Donald Trump was accused of trying to push Ukraine to make painful concessions in an attempt to reach a ceasefire, with much less pressure on Moscow.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinski called for a “significant increase in pressure on Russia”, after he killed an attack on Kiev a woman and her son.

Emergency services have been deployed throughout Ukraine, including in Zaporizhzia regions, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Kheson and Dnipro.

Earlier this month, Zelinski warned that Ukraine was unable to ensure the safety of anyone traveling to Moscow at the show.

“We cannot take responsibility for what is happening on the lands of the Russian Federation,” he said.

He pointed out that the Kremlin may organize provocations during the anniversary of the victory day in Russia to discredit Ukraine.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine warned of the participation of any foreign forces, describing it as “unacceptable” and helping Moscow to “whiten war crimes.”

On the eve of President Xi’s arrival in Moscow, the Chinese leader praised the “flexible” relationship between China and Russia.

China sent 102 soldiers – the largest foreign military squad among the 13 participating countries – to participate in the annual May 9 procession on Friday.

The day of victory celebrates the surrender in Nazi Germany for the year 1945 for the Soviet Union during World War II, which was mentioned in the name of the “Great Patriotic War” in Russia.

It is the most important public holiday in Russia, and Putin has repeatedly sought to draw similarities with the comprehensive war he launched against Democratic Ukraine.

His novel was rejected by Kyiv and Europe. “These people are not editors in Europe, they are occupiers and war criminals,” said Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry on Tuesday.

Europe and Ukraine Mark Al -Nasr on European Day on Thursday.
