Drone attack on Russian Defense Ministry HQ in Moscow barely misses
, Russian officials responded to Monday’s events with fury. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said in a social media post that the Russian side should increase its attacks on “non-standard targets” outside of wartime norms. He did not explicitly call for increased targeting of Ukrainian civilian targets, but his comments strongly suggest such an approach.
