Russian authorities say Ukraine has launched an "unprecedented attack" on and around St Petersburg, as the city hosts the final day of Russia's annual economic forum.

More than 140 drones were shot down over the surrounding Leningrad region, governor Aleksandr Drozdenko said, while the city's governor, Alexander Beglov, urged residents to remain indoors for the first time since the war began.

Ukraine's president said his forces hit Russia's arsenals and a naval base in what he called a just response to Russian attacks.

It comes a day after Vladimir Putin told the forum there was no point in meeting Volodymyr Zelensky, who had called for direct talks on ending the war.

He knows what will happen to him if he loses power.

6. One attack with three targets,

really close together--Red Square Moscow.
1. GUM Department store
2. Wall of Kremlin
3. Lenin's Tomb* if it's still there...

12. I'd have gone for Peterhof.

As well as the naval base.

After all, Putin has a Peter fixation.

8. How about drone attacks on Moscow?

Specifically on the Kremlin.

And maybe on Putin's private residence on the Black Sea where he keeps his mistress.

9. I would love to see hundreds of drones simultaneously launched at the Kremlin.

Preferably about 30 feet above street level to make missing more costly when trying to shoot them down from the Kremlin roof.

13. Oh, boo-effing-hoo Putin!

Apparently you can "dish it out" (war on Ukraine), but can't take it (Ukraine's attacks back).

Too bad!
