“The largest drone attack in history was carried out on Moscow and the Moscow region,” Ukraine‘s National Security and Defense Council spokesman Andriy Kovalenko said. “This is an additional signal to Putin that he should also be interested in a ceasefire in the air.”
Andrey Kartapolov, head of Russia’s State Duma Defense Committee said, “The decision is up to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief (Russian President Vladimir Putin), but I think it would not be unreasonable (to launch the Oreshnik), better even more than one.”
