War Is Coming to Russia, Says Zelensky after Moscow Drone Attack

THE TELEGRAPH: Sergei Sobyanin, mayor of the Russian capital, accuses Ukraine of strike on Moscow-City financial district

Volodymyr Zelensky said war was coming to Russia after suspected Ukrainian drones smashed into skyscrapers in a wealthy Moscow neighbourhood that is home to government offices.

Hours after two drones hit the Russian capital, the Ukrainian president said: “Gradually, the war is returning to the territory of Russia, to its symbolic centres and military bases, and this is an inevitable, natural and absolutely fair process.”

“After the blast, there were vibrations and I felt the bed move,” Ksenia, who was woken up by the pre-dawn, told the Bereg website. “I thought my building was collapsing.”

Roman said that he was now worried that the drone attack would happen again. “I have repeatedly said that it is not very safe here,” he said. “I want to leave Russia. We planned to do this in November but most likely this will now happen earlier.” (With video) » | James Kilner | Sunday, July 30, 2023
