The Russian president has accused Ukraine of trying to 'intimidate Russia'
with Ukrainian forces showing that they can strike at the Russian capital.
“Further, the psychological impact of these raids – both on Ukrainian morale and Putin’s mind – should not be underestimated.” The Russian president, who has previously been described as “pathologically afraid for his life”, claimed the attack was aimed at “civilian targets” and air defences would be bolstered in the city.
Russia’s defence ministry said eight drones sent by Kyiv and targeting civilians were shot down or diverted in Moscow on Tuesday.
