'Reciprocal drone attacks on Moscow and Kyiv underline the present intractability of the war in Ukraine on Monday. Neither Vladimir Putin nor Volodymyr Zelensky are willing to make concessions toward peace.' -TomRtweets
The attacks on Moscow caused minor damage to an apartment building, with no casualties. In contrast, one Ukrainian civilian was killed in the Kyiv attacks. Still, both Ukraine's and Russia's deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure is notable. While Russia has targeted civilians since shortly after the start of the war in February 2022 , Ukraine has generally avoided doing so.
Putin's Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov is demanding a declaration of martial law in Russia and total war against Ukraine. He claims the"satanist" attacks show that"there are no military and politicians in Ukraine — only terrorists." More nuanced, Putin is warning of further Ukrainian plots. He claimed on Monday that Ukraine wants to use a radioactive"dirty bomb" in relation to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. That plant is under Russian occupation.
But Putin's main obstacle remains the most familiar one: Ukraine remains resolutely committed to its fight.
