Russia admits it is striking 'everything and anything' in Ukraine
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claimed Russia had previously avoided indiscriminate strikes but changed its approach after Ukraine began targeting Russian economic and strategic infrastructure.
Moscow has intensified its indiscriminate strikes across Ukraine following Kyiv's heightened attacks on Russian territory, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated on September 13. Peskov claimed that Russia had not previously engaged in indiscriminate strikes, but began doing so after Ukraine targeted Russian economic and strategic infrastructure.
Peskov's remarks echoed President Vladimir Putin's earlier warning that Ukraine had "opened Pandora's box" by striking Russian economic targets, stating that Moscow would retaliate by targeting Ukraine's most sensitive economic sectors. Russian drone attacks on Ukraine have been particularly heavy and nearly constant, with Kyiv facing nearly continuous strikes since late August.
These drones have caused extensive damage to Ukraine's energy grid, power outages, and disrupted fuel supplies, particularly in gas stations. The ongoing attacks have left residents concerned about the impact on the coming winter.
