乌克兰无人机迫使莫斯科四个主要机场在一夜之间关闭，伏努科沃、多莫杰多沃、朱可夫斯基和谢列梅捷沃机场暂停运营长达七小时，超过160架航班被取消。莫斯科市长谢尔盖·索比亚宁表示，有94架飞向首都的无人机被击落。圣彼得堡的普尔科沃机场在同一晚两次被迫停止运营。列宁格勒州州长亚历山大·德罗兹杰科表示，该地区上空有四架无人机被摧毁。
Ukrainian drones forced all four of Moscow's main airports to close overnight, with Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Zhukovsky and Sheremetyevo suspended for up to seven hours and more than 160 flights cancelled. Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said 94 drones heading towards the capital had been shot down. Pulkovo airport in St Petersburg was twice forced to halt operations during the same night. Governor of Leningrad region Alexander Drozdenko said four drones were destroyed over the region.
欧洲新闻台无法独立核实这些说法。根据俄罗斯调查媒体《Agentstvo》的报道，莫斯科四个机场在10月前14天累计关闭时间达101小时，而9月全月仅为46小时。周二，乌克兰对俄罗斯首都发动了其规模最大的无人机行动之一，出动近500架无人机。10月9日，据多方报道，载着弗拉基米尔·普京返回莫斯科的总统专机因无人机袭击无法在莫斯科着陆，被迫改飞圣彼得堡。
Euronews could not independently verify the claims. According to Russian investigative outlet Agentstvo, Moscow's four airports were closed for a total of 101 hours in the first 14 days of October, compared with 46 hours across the whole of September. On Tuesday, Ukraine carried out one of its largest drone operations against the Russian capital, deploying close to 500 drones. On 9 October, according to multiple reports, the presidential aircraft carrying Vladimir Putin — returning from a summit in Turkmenistan — was unable to land in Moscow due to a drone attack and was diverted to St Petersburg.
普京的飞机未被报道为直接目标。俄罗斯官员既未确认也未否认这些报道。乌克兰尚未正式确认任何有组织的行动以关闭俄罗斯机场，媒体将其称为“M&Ms行动”。据报道，总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基尚未授权军队执行原定的、更具侵略性的此类行动计划。9月，泽连斯基表示，俄罗斯的天空“正变得不安全”，并且“无人机将出现在俄罗斯上空，这必须被考虑进去”，呼吁国际航空公司停止飞往俄罗斯机场。
Putin's plane was not reported to have been a direct target. Russian officials have neither confirmed nor denied the reports. Ukraine has not officially confirmed any organised campaign to shut down Russian airports, in what media outlets have dubbed "Operation M&Ms".President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has not yet authorised the military to proceed with an original, more aggressive plan for such a campaign, according to reports. In September, Zelenskyy said Russian skies "are becoming unsafe" and that "drones will appear in the skies over Russia, and that will have to be taken into account", urging international airlines to stop flying to Russian airports. Kyiv has targeted Russia's military, energy and commercial facilities in a bid to defund Moscow's war machine, as its all-out war in Ukraine continued well into its fifth year.
基辅一直在针对俄罗斯的军事、能源和商业设施发动打击，旨在削弱莫斯科的战争机器，因为其在乌克兰的全面战争已持续进入第五年。然而，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在一次采访中重申了对乌克兰对俄罗斯炼油厂袭击的批评，称其为“耻辱”，就在他震惊地宣布一项从克里姆林宫购买柴油的协议之后。“有许多目标可以被打击。但当你炮击生产……你知道的，柴油燃料的炼油厂时，而我们和整个世界都需要这种燃料，（泽连斯基）并没有在帮助世界，”特朗普说。
Yet US President Donald Trump reiterated criticism of Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries in an interview, calling them "a disgrace" after his shock announcement of a deal to purchase diesel from the Kremlin." There are many targets that can be hit. But when you shell oil refineries that produce, you know, diesel fuel, and we and the whole world need that, (Zelenskyy) is not doing the world a favour," Trump said.
