After Russian air defenses shot down several enemy drones over Moscow on Tuesday, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov spoke out angrily on Wednesday and announced retaliation. “We will soon show in the zone of military special operations what revenge is in the full sense of the word,” said Vladimir Putin’s confidant.
Again, Kadyrov also threatened Russian attacks on Western Europe and said that Russia could knock on the door of Germany or Poland, for example. Kadyrov also called for the imposition of martial law in Russia to crack down on Ukraine. Ukraine has denied direct responsibility for the attacks on Moscow.
Putin also announces a reaction
In the Russian capital, the air defense shot down several drones on Tuesday morning. According to authorities, several houses were damaged and two people were injured. It is unclear where the drones came from. In early May, a drone strike over the Kremlin was repelled. Kremlin chief Putin praised the air defense’s work, but also said it needs to be tighter and better. Putin accused Kiev of terror and also announced a response.
US positions itself “against attacks inside Russia”
In any case, after the drone attacks on Moscow, the US government reiterated that it did not support attacks inside Russia. “We have made clear statements not only publicly but also privately to the Ukrainians, but we do not want to comment on hypotheses,” White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said in Washington. Information is currently being collected to find out exactly what happened. At the same time, she made it clear: “We do not support attacks inside Russia. Point.”
Conversely, the Ukrainian capital Kiev has been under fire from the Russian army for weeks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made it clear in his daily video message on Tuesday night that an effective anti-aircraft system is one of the main goals of his defense policy. “Russian terror must be defeated day and night, in the skies of every Ukrainian city and village,” he said.
Russian refinery under Ukrainian fire
Ukrainian troops attacked an oil refinery in Russia’s Krasnodar Territory on Wednesday. According to the governor of the region, a fire broke out in the early morning at the Afipsky oil refinery. It was probably caused by a drone, Governor Veniamin Kondratiev wrote on Telegram. “There are no injuries.” The Afipsky Refinery is located not far from the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk.
