Moscow building damaged in drone attack, Mayor says
Editor's note: This is a developing story and is being update. A building was reportedly damaged on the outskirts of Moscow following a Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian capital overnight on May 29, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported. Videos and photos posted on social media by residents purportedly show damage sustained by a residential building on Vernadsky Avenue in Southwest Moscow. Explosions were heard in the area around 1:40 a.m. local time. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed that no one was injured in the attack that occurred as a result of falling drone debris. Sobyanin added that crew are currently on-scene inspecting the damage. The full extent of the damage was not immediately clear. Ukraine's military has not commented on the reported attack. The Kyiv Independent cannot independently verify reports or claims made by Russian officials. As Russia continues to reject calls for a ceasefire and the war drags on, Ukraine has intensified drone attacks on Russian territory. In particular, drone attacks in Russia have forced airport closures for several nights in a row. Operations at Vnukovo airport were temporarily halted amid the overnight drone attack. Ukraine's recent drone strategy has been aimed at disrupting airport operations, overwhelming air defenses, and making the war more visible to ordinary Russians. The previous night on May 28, Russian air defenses shot down 296 Ukrainian drones across multiple regions overnight, Russia's Defense Ministry claimed, potentially marking one of the heaviest drone attacks against Russia during the full-scale war.

Zelensky visits Berlin as he seeks more support for Ukraine
Germany has been the second-biggest supplier of military aid to Ukraine after the United States. Mr Merz said on Monday that Germany and other major allies are no longer imposing any range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine as it fights to repel Russia's full-scale invasion, which began in February 2022. The new German leader has plunged into diplomatic efforts to try to secure a ceasefire and keep Western support for Ukraine intact since becoming Germany's leader three weeks ago. Meanwhile, fighting has continued along the roughly 620-mile front line, and both sides have conducted deep strikes. Russia launched its biggest drone attack of the war against Ukraine on Sunday. Russian air defences downed 296 Ukrainian drones over 13 Russian regions late on Tuesday and early on Wednesday, Russia's defence ministry said. Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that air defences shot down 33 drones heading toward the capital. Andrei Vorobyov, the governor of the Moscow region, said that 42 drones were downed. He said that drone fragments damaged three residential buildings in the village of Troitskoye, but no-one was hurt. Moscow airports delayed or diverted hundreds of flights. Overnight, Russian forces launched an attack on Ukraine using five Iskander ballistic missiles, one guided air-launched missile and 88 drones, Ukraine's Air Force said. Air defence units shot down 34 drones, and 37 others were jammed. Ukraine's railway infrastructure and equipment in the Kharkiv, Donetsk and Sumy regions also came under fire overnight and Wednesday morning, Ukraine's state railway company Ukrzaliznytsia said. No casualties were reported. In the Kharkiv region, railway traffic was temporarily suspended so that police and emergency workers could clear debris from a downed drone that landed on the tracks. In Sloviansk in the Donetsk region, the attack shattered windows at the station building, and drone debris slightly damaged a train car.
