Drones damage Moscow ...
Western support
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday that the West was stepping up equipment and arms supplies to Kyiv ahead of what he said would be a “large-scale” Ukrainian offensive, and said Moscow would strike any supply routes it detected, Reuters reported.
Speaking on state television, Shoigu also said Russia was inflicting “effective fire damage on the enemy” and that the Western weapons would not change the outcome of Moscow’s “special military operation” in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin started work early on Tuesday to receive information about the drone attack from various government agencies, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Putin isn’t planning to address the nation in the wake of the assault, he said.
Asked by the Associated Press whether there is concern in the Kremlin that the war is endangering Russian civilians, Peskov said only that attacks on Russia reinforce the need to prosecute the war.
It was the second reported attack on Moscow. Russian authorities said two drones targeted the Kremlin earlier this month in what they portrayed as an attempt on President Vladimir Putin’s life.
