Ukrainian strikes and new laws increase pressure on Moscow

Pressure on the Kremlin continues to rise. New reports describe the expansion of Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian territory, hits on logistics centers belonging to the company Wildberries in St. Petersburg, and the crash of a modern Su-57 fighter jet near Moscow. idnes.cz ↗

At the same time, Moscow is tightening the conditions for any potential peace talks with Ukraine. According to previous reports, Vladimir Putin is conditioning a return to negotiations on the capture of all of Donetsk, and he is said to no longer be willing to give up even the smaller occupied parts of the Sumy and Kharkiv regions. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has now declared that Russia is prepared to achieve its goals in Ukraine, if necessary, even against the will of the United States. pravda.sk ↗

New information also adds to the picture of economic pressure. The Russian stock exchange is losing significant value, with large enterprises tied to the Kremlin said to be losing the most in value. Previous reports had already described gasoline shortages, halted fuel exports, lines at gas stations, and electricity problems in occupied Crimea, which pro-Russian channels on Telegram had also written about. idnes.cz ↗

At the same time, the Kremlin is cracking down on opponents of the regime. The State Duma has approved a law intended to restrict the rights of Russians living abroad if they have been convicted in absentia or labeled critics of the regime. The legislation is now awaiting Vladimir Putin's signature. SITA ↗

Further developments will show whether the combination of Ukrainian strikes, sanctions, economic losses, and repressive measures will change the Kremlin's room for maneuver. Meanwhile, Putin made an unannounced visit to an aircraft factory in Irkutsk, which, according to new reports, was only his third visit to the city this year. Independent ↗
