"Air defenses destroyed 16 Ukrainian marches," the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement, explaining that "nine more Ukrainian marches were neutralized by electronic warfare means and crashed in the Black Sea," without registering any casualties.

Since early June, Ukraine, which has been waging a counteroffensive to regain territory occupied by Moscow, has said it intends to retake Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014.

On the other hand, the Russian authorities announced earlier today a night attack carried out by Ukrainian drones on Moscow, asserting that they thwarted it without causing any injuries. The capital's International Airport was briefly closed.

Vnukovo International Airport in Moscow was briefly closed to air traffic early today before flights resumed later, the Russian" TASS " news agency reported.

The agency initially reported that" Vnukovo airport in the capital is closed " to the movement of departures and arrivals, noting that flights there were diverted to other airports. Later it was reported that the movement of flights resumed at the airport again.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin was quoted as saying that Ukrainian drones attacked the Russian capital early on Sunday, but there were no injuries or loss of life.

Amid the escalating rhythm of the war between Moscow and Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that his country does not refuse to hold talks related to Ukraine, and noted that the African and Chinese peace initiatives can be the basis for peace.

During a press conference held on Saturday, a day after meeting with African leaders for the second Russia - Africa Summit in St. Petersburg on Friday, he added that it is difficult to implement a ceasefire while the Ukrainian army is launching an offensive.

Putin said on Friday that Russia is ready to hold negotiations with Ukraine, but Kiev refuses to participate in them, stressing the refusal of the United States and NATO to negotiate with Russia on the issue of ensuring equal security for all countries. He noted that President Zelensky stated the impossibility of negotiating with Moscow.
