Ukraine has intensified its drone attacks on St Petersburg, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict with Russia. The latest assault occurred after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed a face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which Putin dismissed as 'boorish' and unproductive. St Petersburg's governor, Alexander Beglov, urged residents to stay indoors due to the heightened threat level following the drone strikes. Ukrainian forces reportedly launched 141 drones, with Russia's Defence Ministry claiming to have shot down 376. The attacks come on the heels of a previous strike that ignited an oil terminal in the city, coinciding with Putin's annual St Petersburg International Economic Forum, where he announced plans to bolster air defenses. Meanwhile, the conflict continues to escalate with Russian strikes on Ukraine, resulting in casualties and damage across several regions, including Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia. The ongoing exchanges reflect a deepening stalemate as both nations seek to assert their military capabilities.
