Live War in Ukraine, day 1159: A massive attack with Russian drones during the night killed a person / “Ukrainian agent”, detained by the FSB in the case of the murder in Moscow

Moscow continues to attack civil targets in Ukraine, according to officials in the invaded country. FSB said on Saturday that he had detained a man suspected of killing a high-ranking general in a trap car attack near Moscow. Russia has accused Kiev of being behind the Friday explosion, in which General Yaroslav Moskalik died. On a diplomatic level, Donald Trump seems to have changed his speech. The White House leader said he doubts that Vladimir Putin wants to put an end to the Ukraine war and expressed his skepticism on the possibility of soon concluding a peace agreement, after a face-to-face meeting with Volodimir Zelenski in the Vatican Basilica.

Serhiy Lysak, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, said a man was killed in Pavlohrad, and a 14 -year -old girl was injured.

He said that 500 cattle were killed when a drone hit the location where they were held.

The Ukrainian air forces said they had shot down 57 of the 149 drones, while another 67 disappeared from the radars without touching their targets-usually as a result of the jams caused by electronic war systems.
