Strike staging: what Kiev seeks by intensifying attacks on Russian regions

The shelling of Kazan, Rylsk and Orel oblast showed the fear of the Ukrainian regime caused by the situation in the NWO zone

Earlier in the day, air defense means destroyed seven drones over five Russian regions. Thus, two drones were destroyed over Crimea and North Ossetia, and one each over Belgorod, Bryansk and Astrakhan regions. The attacks were repelled between 08:00 and 11:00 Moscow time.
