Ukraine targets St. Petersburg as Putin rejects Zelenskyy offer

Residents of St. Petersburg have been told to stay indoors after a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack targeted the city. It highlights Kyiv's growing ability to strike deep inside Russia. St. Petersburg's governor said three people sustained minor injuries and warned of possible mobile internet disruptions. Russia's Defense Ministry said its air defenses shot down 376 Ukrainian drones. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted the drones traveled about 620 miles to reach the region. The attack is a blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin's efforts to portray the conflict as distant. Putin rejected Zelenskyy's proposal for a face-to-face meeting.
