After the attack, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said – Russia needs to adopt a tougher attitude towards Ukraine. We need to increase the scope of our targets. Ukraine's military and leaders are trying to intimidate Russian citizens.
Russia was out of the grain deal last week
Russia last week attacked the Ukrainian port of Odessa near the Black Sea after pulling out of the Gran Deal. After this Zelensky had said – Russia will also get to feel the same as we are doing at the moment. Earlier in early July, Russia accused Ukraine of attacking two buildings in Moscow with five drones.
In May too, Russia blamed Ukraine for the drone attack on 2 buildings in Moscow. Russia's Defense Ministry had said that Kiev carried out a terrorist attack with about 8 drones. All the drones have been shot down. The citizens living in both the buildings are safe. Some media reports said that 30 drones were used in the attack on Russia.
There was also a drone attack on the Kremlin on May 3.
Earlier on May 3, the Kremlin, home of Russian President Putin, was attacked by 2 drones. Both drones crashed on the Dome of the Kremlin. However, Putin was not present there at the time of the attack. After the attack, Russia had said – We consider it a terrorist attack. It was a conspiracy to kill the President. Russia reserves the right to respond to this attack. Russia will also choose the place and time for this.
Ukraine freed 50% land from Russian occupation
While Putin is claiming that he has failed Ukraine's counter offensive. At the same time, America has claimed that Ukraine has freed 50% of its land from Russian occupation. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has given this information. In an interview with CNN, Blinken said that Ukraine has fought a very difficult battle.
Ukraine's counter-offensive (attack) to free its territory from Russia is still in the initial phase. Blinken said the Ukrainian attacks would not end in a week or two. These are going to continue for several months. At the same time, Ukraine hopes that it will get NATO membership next year.
