Kyiv’s drone strikes on Moscow mean Kremlin’s war can’t be ignored by Russians

Attacks keep up pressure on Vladimir Putin, although have become ‘not a big deal’ for many unmoved Russians

A new campaign of drone strikes has targeted the Russian capital in recent days as Kyiv has demonstrated its ability to hit Moscow and to keep the Kremlin’s war in the hearts and minds of the Russian elites and others seeking to ignore the invasion of Ukraine.

Video on Friday showed a drone slamming into the ground and exploding near a residential area in the north-west of the city, as rowers nearby participated in a national championship in the Krylatskoye district.
