Muscovites shocked by the scale of Ukraine's new attack
Sky News correspondent Ivor Bennett decided to talk to the residents of the Russian capital.
According to Muscovites themselves, they still cannot believe that so many Ukrainian strike drones were able to break into Russia's main city that night.
This was the largest attack by Ukrainian drones on the Russian capital since the beginning of the war, the journalist emphasizes.
Ivor Bennett claims that there was "shock and astonishment" in the eyes of Muscovites.
"One person said they couldn't believe so many drones had been launched and had reached so far. Another said they couldn't wait for it to be over, that they were praying for this conflict to end," the Sky News correspondent added.
By the way, the Russian authorities claim that 73 drones were allegedly shot down in the Moscow region.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine later reported that the Ukrainian Defense Forces were able to strike the production facilities of the Moscow Oil Refinery, which is capable of processing 11 million tons of oil per year and provides 40-50% of the city of Moscow's needs for diesel and gasoline.
