The Kremlin on Tuesday accused Ukraine of targeting residential apartment blocks after Kyiv launched its biggest ever drone attack on the Russian capital.

The assault, which the mayor called the largest on Russia’s capital since the war began, was a reminder of Ukraine’s power to strike as its president proposes an air truce.

Russia said dozens of drones were launched at Moscow on Tuesday in what it said were “enemy” attacks, using its preferred euphemism for Ukraine, hours ahead of critical talks between US and Ukrainian officials.
