Ukraine conducted its largest drone attack on Moscow since the war began, striking an oil refinery and other targets while Zelenskyy signals interest in Trump-brokered peace talks. The strike caused significant damage to Russian infrastructure and was clearly timed as Ukraine tries to strengthen its negotiating position before talks.
The timing matters. With Trump in office and signaling openness to negotiated settlement, Zelenskyy is escalating militarily to arrive at the negotiating table from a position of strength rather than desperation. The largest drone strike isn't random—it's a signal that Ukraine still has offensive capability and isn't going to settle from a position of complete disadvantage.
