The Russian Defense Ministry said that its air defenses overnight shot down 555 Ukrainian drones over multiple regions, with almost 200 intercepted as they were approaching the Russian capital.<\/p>\n

Several drones hit the Moscow Oil Refinery on the southeastern outskirts of the city, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said.<\/p>\n

The Russian Transport Ministry said that flights from four Moscow airports were halted.<\/p>\n

The attack came hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he had held \u201can important coordination call\u201d with US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron that may \u201cbring about significant change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zelensky said Wednesday his country had won\u00a0key pledges of further support\u00a0from world leaders attending the G7 summit in France.<\/p>\n

\u2033These last few days were very important for Ukraine because it is the reunification of the G7 around Ukraine,\u2033 Macron told reporters as he and Trump left the Palace of Versailles near Paris.<\/p>\n

\u2033And now we will continue to advance to help Ukraine to resist\u2033 and to build up its \u2033capacity to defend itself and capacity to counterattack,\u201d Macron said.<\/p>\n

The attack comes as President Vladimir Putin is in Kazan, 430 miles east of Moscow, hosting leaders of\u00a0the Association of Southeast Asian Nations\u00a0as Russia seeks to bolster business and other ties.<\/p>\n

The two-day meeting is set to consider ways to expand Russia\u2019s \u201cstrategic partnership\u201d with\u00a0ASEAN nations\u00a0that include Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, East Timor and Vietnam, according to Kremlin foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov.<\/p>\n
