Putin warns of environmental impact of Ukrainian attacks on Russian refinery

Kiev has turned to openly terrorist methods to compensate for battlefield setbacks, the Russian president says

The Kiev regime has ramped up drone attacks on Russia’s civilian infrastructure, seeking to compensate for the battlefield setbacks it has been experiencing, President Vladimir Putin has said.

He spoke about the increased terrorist threat Russia has been facing during a meeting on Tuesday dedicated to the security of the elections set to take place this fall. The threat stems from the activities of international terrorist and extremist groups, as well as from Ukraine, Putin said.

“The Kiev regime and its backers have switched to openly terrorist methods,” the president stated.
