Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that ‘war is returning to Russia‘ after a drone attack on the capital of Moscow.
Zelensky said in his nightly video address to the nation that Ukraine ‘is getting stronger’ and the war is gradually returning to Russian territory – to its ‘symbolic centres and military bases’, adding that this is ‘an inevitable natural and fair process’.
This bold response comes after a drone attack which was launched in the early hours of Sunday morning, and was described by Russian authorities as an ‘attempted terrorist attack’ that had been ‘thwarted’.
Russian authorities have placed the responsibility of the attack squarely at the feet of the Ukrainian forces, and while this latest response from Ukraine’s premier was not an outright admission, the address showed a stepped up steeliness from his usual approach.
Zelensky started his address by noting that today is the five hundred and twenty-second day of the ‘so-called “special military operation”, which the Russian leadership expected to last for a week or two’.

But he also warned, ‘Russian terrorists can still attack our energy sector and critical facilities this winter’.
In the address, Zelensky said that discussions were held with communities in preparation for ‘all possible scenarios’.
This, he said, included in the issue of urgent reconstruction, including the energy sector and various systems
of ensuring life in communities.’

The Kremlin’s response to the attack bluntly threatened use of nuclear weapons in the wake of the Ukrainian drone strike on Moscow’s skyscraper zone.
Three drones struck an elite office building and residential skyscraper in Moscow early Sunday morning in what Russia’s Defence Ministry has branded an ‘attempted terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime’.
The aerial assault came after Vladimir Putin said he does not reject the idea of peace talks with Ukraine.
Dmitry Medvedev, a former Russian president and Putin ally, has warned there is ‘simply no other way out’ and said that Kyiv should ‘pray to our warriors’ that they do not ‘allow the global nuclear fire to flare up’.
Moscow said it had brought down three Ukrainian drones early on Sunday that had been trying to attack the capital. It also claimed its forces had thwarted a Ukrainian attempt to attack Russia-annexed Crimea with 25 drones overnight.
Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014, has been targeted by Kyiv throughout Moscow’s Ukraine offensive but has come under more intense, increased attacks in recent weeks. Kyiv has repeatedly said it plans to take Crimea back.
