Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised overnight drone attacks on St. Petersburg as a "proportionate response" to Russian bombardment of Ukraine and vowed to escalate such strikes. Ukrainian drones hit multiple targets in St. Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad region during the night attacks on Wednesday. The strikes represent Ukraine's continuing efforts to bring the conflict to Russian territory, with Zelenskyy signaling that Kyiv is prepared to intensify retaliatory operations against Russia's second-largest city and other targets within Russian borders.
