Moscow regional governor said 81 Ukrainian drones were downed overnight; three killed, three injured in Pionersky settlement.
WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because Russia has resumed hitting Ukraine's grid substations heading into a war-strained year and just opened a new front across the Oskil river near Kupiansk, threatening both civilian heat and a fresh Ukrainian defensive collapse.
