The pair handed over to Richard Gaisford, who was reporting live from the Ministry of Defence in London.
Discussing the attack, Richard explained: ” sent more than 300 drones inside of , many of them targeting what’s believed to be oil refineries outside of Moscow that supply the Russian military.
“Also targeting Russian forces in Kursk because they’re currently trying to repell the Ukrainian’s who sit there on Russian soil.”
The broadcaster explained how the air defences around Moscow were in action, with released images and videos showing them attempting to shoot the drones out of the sky.
Richard continued: “All of this is happening as president Zelensky arrived in Saudi Arabia, meeting with leaders there who are hosting these talks that hope to come up with some sort of framework for a ceasefire, for a peace deal.”
He added: “Zelensky will not sit down directly with the Americans. It’s the secretary of state Marco Rubio who is there representing the president of the United States. He said he is keen to see what concessions Ukrainian’s are willing to make.”
