Inside Ukraine’s daring drone attack on Russia

Over the weekend, Ukraine launched an audacious drone attack deep inside Russian territory. After 18 months of planning personally overseen by Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine smuggled drones across the border and launched them from hidden containers with remote-controlled lids. Kyiv says it damaged a third of Russia’s strategic bombers. The Times’ World Affairs Editor Catherine Philp says it is an effective strategy as well as symbolism - and looks at how Russia will react.
