By Andrew Osborn and Laurie Chen (Reuters) -Chinese President Xi Jinping flew into Moscow on Wednesday for talks with President Vladimir Putin and a pomp-filled visit that Kyiv has made clear it opposes after Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow shortly before he touched down.

(Reuters) -Russian air defence units destroyed a swarm of Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow in a second night attack in a row, prompting the closure of all airports in the capital for several hours, officials said early on Tuesday.

Russia and Ukraine continued air strikes against each other’s capitals overnight, including an attack that killed two people in Kyiv, as Moscow prepared to host the leaders of China, Brazil and other states to commemorate the end of World War II.
