London – Russia did not launch long -term drones to Ukraine on Monday night and until Tuesday morning, said the Ukraine Air Force, which marked the first night since December 2024 in which zero such a ship attacked the country.
The Ukraine Air Force reported two missiles launched to the southern region of Zaporizhzhia, which were demolished. The Air Force did not send drone warnings during the night.
The Air Force also said that Russia attacked the first -line communities in Zaporizhzhia with five guided bombs on Monday night, killing a person and hurting another five.
The absence of attack drones represented a remarkable deviation of the last weeks, which have seen Russia launch mass drones attacks, often more than 100 drones during one night, against Ukrainian cities.

Both kyiv and Moscow have continued to launch attacks by mass cross -border drones in recent months, despite the efforts of the United States to facilitate fire and the eventual peace agreement to end the invasion of their 3 -year -old neighbor of Russia.
Last week, the three parties, the United States, Ukraine and Russia said they agreed to stop any attack in the black Sea and freeze the strikes on the energy infrastructure. Both Kyiv and Moscow have accused the other of violating the pause in energy attacks.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said Tuesday that its forces knocked down three Ukrainian drones during the night through the territory of its Western Bryansk region. The Ministry also claimed that the Ukrainian drones went to energy facilities twice during the previous 24 hours.
The Foreign Minister of Ucriinia, Andriy Sybiha, also accused Russia of attacking the energy infrastructure, telling journalists on Monday that a strike in an installation in the southern region of Kherson left 45,000 residents without energy.
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has repeatedly summoned the almost night bombings of Russia as evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin has no real interest in the high fire and peace that President Donald Trump and his administration.
In a video address from Sunday night, Zelenskyy reported “more strikes and bombings” in seven Ukrainian regions. “The geography and brutality of the Russian attacks, not only occasionally, but literally every day and the night, they show that Putin does not matter less diplomacy,” he said.
“For several weeks, there has been an US proposal for a high unconditional fire,” Zelenskyy added. “And almost every day, in response to this proposal, there are Russian drones, bombs, artillery bombings and ballistic attacks.”

In recent days, Trump hinted with frustration with Moscow, telling journalists that he was “very angry” with Putin after the Russian leader criticized Zelenskyy again and asked for his removal in favor of a transition government.
Trump added that he would consider applying new sanctions to the lucrative oil exports of Russia and any nation that bought its oil. China and India are among the most important customers for Russian oil products.
Later, the president told reporters on Air Force One that his administration was making significant progress to end the war. When asked about his relationship with Putin, Trump replied: “I don’t think he will return to his word.”
When asked if there was a deadline for Russia to accept fire, Trump suggested that there was a “psychological term.”
He added: “If I think they are hitting us, I will not be happy for that.”
