Ukrainian drones struck buildings in Moscow on Monday. The buildings targeted apparently included one just across the street from a Russian GRU intelligence service facility. Alongside last week's Ukrainian strike on the Crimean Bridge, these strikes paint a picture of Russian President Vladimir Putin's vulnerability.
One particular target of Russia's fury is the United Kingdom. It would be a gross understatement to say that the Kremlin has been shocked by the shift in the U.K.'s strategy toward Russia since the February 2022 start of the war in Ukraine. Successive U.K. governments, including that of then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson, had embraced an overt appeasement policy toward Russia. In return for billions of dollars in Russian private investments in the U.K.
In ways both public and private, Moscow is showing it isn't happy. British diplomats in Russia are receiving the kind of harassment once reserved only for Russia's"main enemy," the U.S. Russian rhetoric against the"Anglo-Saxon" U.K. is also heating up. The latest spark for Russia's ire came with comments made by the head of the U.K.'s MI6 intelligence service last week.
