Scores of Ukrainian drones bore down on Moscow on Thursday, hitting the Russian capital¡¯s oil refinery for the second time this week in what Kyiv cast as a demonstration of its growing capabilities that should force Russia to accept a peace deal.
¡°We don¡¯t want this war, we never did, and everyone knows it, and our partners ?know it,¡± Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a voice message sent to reporters on a WhatsApp group. ¡°But if Ukraine burns, your Moscow will burn.¡±
Russia, for its part, fired missiles into ?Kyiv, also ?for the second time this week, following an attack that damaged Kyiv¡¯s landmark 1,000-year-old monastery and drew international condemnation.
