## Resource

Ukraine unleashed a massive drone barrage on St. Petersburg, targeting Russia’s second-largest city just as Putin hosted his high-profile economic forum — a stunning blow to his narrative that the war doesn’t disrupt daily life. Hundreds of drones were launched, with Russia claiming 376 intercepted, though regional officials reported 141 downed in their area alone. Residents were told to shelter indoors as internet services faltered. The attack, coming days after a similar strike hit an oil terminal and naval base, marks a sharp escalation. Putin vowed to strengthen defenses, while Ukraine’s foreign minister warned Russia can expect even more intense strikes — no place is safe. Meanwhile, Russian drones and artillery continued to strike Ukrainian cities, including Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia, where fires broke out. The war’s stalemate persists, but the skies are growing more dangerous. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
