Parts of the Russian population are not only violent in the war against Ukraine. Those who fought at the front sometimes also take up arms at home. In addition, opponents of war attack state and municipal institutions.
This was reported by the media criticizing the Kremlin. Protests are said to have taken place in September in particular. At the time, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the mobilization, which caused panic among many people. Crimes involving guns, explosives and dummies have increased, especially in the two largest cities. Moscow reported an increase of more than 200 percent compared to the previous year, and the Baltic Sea metropolis of St. Petersburg reported more than twice as many crimes of this type.
Attacks in the border area
Russia has repeatedly complained about attacks on its own territory, especially since the start of the war on February 24. The governors of the border regions of Kursk and Belgorod have reported regular shelling for months, blaming the Ukrainian side. As a rule, Kiev does not comment on these accusations. According to the Russian Interior Ministry, the number of crimes involving the use of explosives, firearms or dummies increased by almost a third between January and October 2022 compared to the same period last year.

Meanwhile, air warnings sounded throughout Ukraine on Wednesday. Authorities reported explosions in the Kiev, Zaporizhia, Donetsk, Odessa, Mykolaiv, Poltava and Dnepropetrovsk regions. At least three people are said to have died, including a newborn in a maternity ward. In Kiev, another critical infrastructure object was hit and damaged, Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram. Terrestrial television went out for a short time and the already ailing power grid fluctuated widely.
