In Moscow’s Maryino district on Friday, shopkeeper Andrei Kondratyev offered more Ukrainian attacks and possible gasoline shortages, saying the Russians needed to “get used to” the new reality.
A day earlier, Kyiv burned down an oil refinery in the nearby Kapotnya region in its biggest drone attack on Moscow in years, burning Russian capital in smoke.
Events like this were unthinkable when Moscow launched its full-scale offensive against Ukraine in 2022, but in recent months it has become a part of life in Russia.
Kyiv has sent Russian drones into the Urals in retaliation for Moscow’s daily bombing of its cities.
“We need to get used to the fact that it can happen anywhere and to anyone. I think we just need to hold it together,” Kondratyev, 47, said.
The attacks killed one person – an eight-year-old girl – and wounded more than a dozen, Moscow said.
