Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going on a visit to Ukraine as an Indian Prime Minister after 45 years. This visit will take place after his visit to Poland on 21 and 22 August, from where he will leave for Ukraine. Prime Minister Modi will be in Ukraine on 23 August. But just before his historic visit, the biggest attack ever has taken place on the Russian capital Moscow.
This attack on Moscow, Russia was carried out by Ukraine, which Mayor Sergei Sobyanin has described as one of the biggest drone attacks ever. Sobyanin informed that Russian air defense units destroyed at least 10 drones coming towards Moscow. This attack also shot down some drones in the Moscow city of Podolsk, which is located about 38 kilometers south of the Kremlin.
Mayor Sobyanin said on Telegram at 4:43 am that the air defense systems of the Russian Defense Ministry are constantly engaged in thwarting enemy drone attacks. It is a matter of relief that wherever the debris fell, there is no news of any casualties. This attack is being described as the biggest after the drone attack in May last year. While 8 drones of Moscow were destroyed last year, this time 10 drones have been destroyed.
Apart from Moscow, there have been reports of attacks on other regions of Russia as well. Alexander Bogomaz, the governor of the Bryansk region of Russia, informed on Telegram that there were no reports of casualties or damage during the drone attack. According to the report, two drones have been destroyed in the Tula region of Russia, which is located on the border of the Moscow region. Apart from this, Vasily Golubev, the governor of the Rostov region in the South-West of Russia, said that the air defense forces destroyed a Ukrainian missile over the region. There were no casualties in this attack either.
Amidst these events, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Ukraine has become even more important. This will be the first visit of an Indian Prime Minister to Ukraine after diplomatic relations were established between the two countries in 1992. The purpose of this visit of Prime Minister Modi is to further strengthen bilateral relations between Ukraine and India. While this visit of Prime Minister Modi will give a new direction to the political, economic, and cultural relations between the two countries, this visit has become even more sensitive in view of the current situation in Ukraine. In such a situation, this visit of Prime Minister Modi can prove to be an important step in international relations.
