Russia has downed three drones over the Leningrad region to the northwest of Moscow and continues to repel the attacks, regional Governor Alexander Drozdenko said on the Telegram messaging app, as a major annual economic forum was about to start.
The Leningrad region, home to crucial energy export infrastructure and a major oil refinery, is hosting its fifth wartime economic conference, President Vladimir Putin’s “Russian Davos,” in St. Petersburg from Wednesday.
