Russia reports drone attack over Moscow region as ZELENSKYY prepares peace plan

Thursday, December 11, 2025 -Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed a major drone attack over Moscow and surrounding regions, with hundreds of Ukrainian drones intercepted by Russian air defenses. 

The strikes forced flight diversions at major airports and marked one of the largest aerial incursions over the Russian capital in recent months. While no immediate civilian casualties were reported, the scale of the attack signals a heightened intensity in ongoing military operations and raises urgent concerns about escalation.

At the same time, Ukraine is advancing its diplomatic strategy, submitting a revised 20-point peace proposal to the United States. The plan outlines measures on territorial control, security guarantees, and pathways to reduce hostilities. 

Ukrainian officials emphasize that this proposal is aimed at creating momentum for formal negotiations with Russia, even as drone attacks continue, highlighting the tension between diplomatic engagement and ongoing military pressure.

Experts warn that the combination of cross-border drone strikes and active peace diplomacy puts the region at a critical juncture. The attacks over Moscow serve as a stark reminder that the conflict remains volatile, while Ukraine’s push for a structured peace plan could reshape international support and regional security. 

Governments and investors are watching closely, as the outcomes could have immediate effects on political stability and economic growth in the region.
