"Sources from Ukraine's security service, SBU, told the BBC strategic bombers were "burning en masse" in an operation named "Spider's Web", personally overseen by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The sources said it took a year-and-a-half to organise the strikes:

drones hidden in wooden mobile cabins with remotely opening roofs had been placed on trucks brought near the airbases and then fired "at the right time".

Russia's military later confirmed Sunday's Ukrainian attacks in five regions calling them a "terrorist act"."

The day that the Soviet Union's
ally Nazi Germany betrayed the USSR and
launched Operation Barbarosa

In just one morning 84 years ago 10 to

"Over the last 24 hours, Russia conducted heavy drone strikes on Ukrainian cities including on Kyiv.

Zelensky wrote on X that he had a meeting with the heads of the military and security services to get a briefing on "our defense and our active operations."

Zelensky confIrmed that "a full and unconditional ceasefire, release of prisoners and the return of abducted children" will be the main issues in talks with Russia on Monday.

"The key issues can only be resolved by the leaders," he said."

"The SBU source said that the operation was "extremely complicated from a logistical point of view," with the drones carried inside wooden mobile homes that had been carried into Russia on trucks.

"The drones were hidden under the roofs of the houses, which were already placed on trucks. At the right moment, the roofs were remotely opened, and the drones flew to hit Russian bombers."

One video purportedly of one attack appears to show drones rising from a truck, as vehicles pass on a nearby highway. Another image shows the roof of the truck on the ground.

The source added that people involved were already back in Ukraine."

"A Return of the Jedi' moment in Ukraine

Cue the Star Wars theme music. In Ukraine, we just witnessed an epic real-life fiery version of the "Return of the Jedi" movie.

Of the nine principles of war described by Carl Von Clausewitz in his book "On War," surprise often yields the biggest dividend. It is achieved by "strik[ing] the enemy at a time, place, and manner for which he or she is unprepared."
