Moscow was attacked by 417 drones overnight, and Russian forces launched cluster strikes on targets in Ukraine. Donald Trump's previously announced "energy ceasefire" has yet to materialize.
According to CCTV News, from 8:30 PM Moscow time on October 12 to 7:00 AM on October 13, the Moscow region was attacked by 417 drones, 65 of which were destroyed as they approached the city. Meanwhile, Xinhua News Agency reported that the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on October 13 that Russian forces used land-based high-precision weapons and drones from late night on the 12th to early morning on the 13th to conduct a series of strikes on Ukrainian military industrial facilities, logistics centers, railway, and port infrastructure. These military actions occurred less than 48 hours after Donald Trump unilaterally announced an "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine on October 11. Russia has not yet officially confirmed any agreement, while Ukraine has shifted from "unaware" to "supportive" but with reciprocal conditions attached. Several European countries remain skeptical about the credibility of this agreement. Oil prices saw a slight pullback on Tuesday, with Brent crude still trading above $100.
