Moscow has signaled a significant escalation in its military operations, announcing plans to "intensify" attacks against Kyiv. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, this move serves as a direct response to Ukrainian drone strikes conducted during the Russian parliamentary elections.

Retaliation and Strategic Targeting

In an official statement, the Russian Ministry clarified that its armed forces would continue and expand their bombardment campaign using high-precision weaponry. These strikes are reportedly aimed at military installations within the Ukrainian capital.

The Kremlin has explicitly linked these military actions to the protection of Russia's electoral integrity. The Ministry accused the "Kyiv regime" of targeting civilian sites on Russian soil, alleging that Ukraine is attempting to "obstruct the democratic expression of the will of the Russian people."
