The Russian president on Sunday promised even more “destructions” to Ukraine after a drone attack the day before, which Moscow attributes to kyiv, against buildings in Kazan. “Anyone who attempts to destroy anything in our country, no matter how small, will face much greater destruction in their own country and will regret what they tried to do to our country.”the master of the Kremlin said during an official ceremony while commenting on Saturday's strike against the city in central Russia.

Impressive images, which circulated on Russian social networks, showed drones hitting tall glass buildings in a ball of fire. Ukraine has not commented on this attack, nor on the Russian accusations.

kyiv regularly carries out strikes in Russia, often against oil or industrial targets, in response to Russian air attacks and the assault launched by the Kremlin against its territory almost three years ago. It is rarer for Ukraine to be accused of attacks on residential buildings so far from its borders.

In recent weeks, Vladimir Putin has repeatedly threatened to strike the center of kyiv with his new and powerful “Orechnik” missile, used for the first time in November.
