Ukraine Bombing St. Petersburg

Right on NATO's doorstep!!! I lived in Helsinki in some amazing 5 Star Hotels for 10 years btw ... A large-scale Ukrainian drone attack targeted St. Petersburg, Russia's second-largest city, on Saturday morning, with residents told to remain indoors . The strike shows Kyiv's increasing capability to hit deep within Russian territory. St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov specifically warned of potential disruptions to mobile internet services. The latest attacks came a day after Putin on Friday rejected a proposal by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a face-to-face meeting on the four-year-old conflict, saying he sees "no point" in it. Thursday's letter, the first public message Zelensky has written directly to Putin since Russia sent troops into Ukraine in 2022, was a sweeping critique of the Russian leader's 26 years in power, as well as some taunts about his age. Regional Governor Alexander Drozdenko claimed 141 drones were intercepted over the Leningrad region, while Russia's Defence Ministry stated its air defences shot down 376 Ukrainian drones. While no casualties were immediately reported, this renewed assault on St. Petersburg delivers a further embarrassing blow to President Vladimir Putin's attempts to portray the conflict as a distant event, detached from the daily lives of Russians. https://www.aol.com/articles/ukraine-hits-st-petersburg-again-140751000.html
