The attack comes as senior US and Ukrainian officials prepare for critical talks in Saudi Arabia, where Ukraine will present a partial ceasefire proposal.

Ukraine targeted Moscow with dozens of drones in a "massive" overnight attack, the city's mayor said on Tuesday, March 11, with Russia's defense ministry claiming it shot down 337 UAVs across the country.

"The Defense Ministry's air defense continues to repel a massive attack by enemy drones on Moscow," Sergei Sobyanin said on Telegram.

Well the war seems to have boosted Putin’s approval rates in Russia, but then they’re not the ones whose people and infrastructure keeps being bombarded every single day for the last 3 years. So if they’re getting a similar treatment let’s hope the Russian “public” starts pushing their gov for reasonable negotiations, because Ukraine made it clear that they will not accept the “deal” they’re being proposed. On another note, whatever happened to the “Ukraine will be crippled by losing US intelligence” narrative? If they were retreating they wouldn’t launch attacks towards Moscow.

I have a feeling the French stepped up behind the scenes. There was a successful AS launch of a French spysat just a week ago, and I expect most non-orbital SIGINT stuff is just NATO, not the US.

Trump seems to be holding less cards than he thought.

France has Helios, Germany SAR-Lupe (with the successor SARah in partial operation), Italy, COSMO-Skymed. The systems are integrated, I wouldn't be surprised if Ukraine has pretty much full access. Has had, for ages.
