Both strikes are seen as causing significant damage to the Kremlin's war machine, as Russian air defences exploded incoming drones to avert more damage. Moscow's defence ministry claims Ukraine launched nearly 300 drones overnight in revenge for Russia unleashing three nights of hellish aerial strikes on Ukraine. In the largest-scale aerial attack of the war a few days ago, Russia sent 367 drones and missiles over the border, killing at least 12 and injuring dozens. In the latest drone blitz launched by Ukraine, there was major disruption at Moscow's major airports with all forced to close, leading to huge flight delays. The Mikron microchip plant in the Moscow region is key to Russian defence needs amid sanctions, supplying hi-tech electronics for weapons. In Dubna, reports say the target was Kronstadt state-of-the-art UAV manufacturing plant that mass produces multiple types of drones used by the Russian armed forces in Ukraine. There were also claims of a confirmed strike in Dubna at an aviation and rocket technology plant. Meanwhile, Zelensky has revealed that Ukraine is ready for any format of negotiations - including the possibility of a bombshell trilateral meeting. The brave Ukrainian leader explained at a closed meeting with reporters that he would want to meet directly with Trump and mad Vlad, according to the Kyiv Post.

Revealing that both the American and Russian sides are aware of the proposal, Zelensky added: "It's not a question of time or place, the main thing is the substance." Zelensky also said that if the talks are on security guarantees, he "strongly" believes "Europeans must be part of the process" as "they are the ones willing to support us with weapons and financing". Ukraine is currently waiting for a "memorandum" from Moscow which outlines what the next steps could be in potential ceasefire negotiations as well as future peace crunch talks. The brave leader reiterated Ukraine's desire to engage in talks with Russia "in any format, in any composition, and almost anywhere in the civilised world". Ukraine's latest revenge drone strike came soon after US President Trump took his latest swipe at Putin, warning he is "playing with fire". Furious rhetoric from the US president has intensified over the past few days as Russia has blitzed Ukraine and shown signs of preparing for a major onslaught.

"This means that Ukraine can now defend itself, for example, by attacking military positions in Russia… With very few exceptions, it didn't do that until recently. It can now do that." In November last year, the US authorised Ukraine to use American long-range missiles called ATACMS against targets inside Russia. In the same month, Britain gave the green light for Ukraine to fire our Storm Shadow missiles at Russia.

Trump brands Putin 'crazy' By Annabel Bate, Foreign News Reporter PRESIDENT Donald Trump broke his silence on Sunday after 'I'm not happy with Putin,' Trump fumed as he spoke to reporters in Morristown, New Jersey earlier on Sunday following the overnight onslaught that killed at least 13 and injured dozens. 'I don't know what's wrong with him. What the hell happened to him? Right? He's killing a lot of people. I'm not happy about that,' he said. Trump added that And later in a post on his Truth Social site, the Republican leader continued to bash the mad Vlad. He wrote: "I've always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. "He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is "Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever." In the rare rebuke to Putin, the Republican also said that He added: "I've always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that's proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!" But the Kremlin on Monday subtly slammed Trump's "crazy" comments, claiming his swipes at the dictator were channelled by the US President's emotional overload. It also thanked the US leader for his assistance in launching Ukraine peace negotiations. Putin puppet and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "We are really grateful to the Americans and to President Trump personally for their assistance in organising and launching this negotiation process. "Of course, at the same time, this is a very crucial moment, which is associated, of course, with the emotional overload of everyone absolutely and with emotional reactions."
