The Russian town of Shebekino has reportedly come under direct fire from Ukraine in occupied territories, with reports of artillery fire causing damage to the town’s industrial facilities. The regional governor of the area also reportedly came under artillery fire while en route to the town on Saturday. These developments have caused concern within the Kremlin as tensions continue to remain high over Ukraine’s Western-backed, upcoming military push to end Russia’s 15-month invasion of Ukraine.

While officially backed by Kiev, the US and the UK have offered to provide weaponry to Ukraine in order to enable it to defend itself and to take back land occupied by Russian forces. Moscow has criticized these measures, but neither side has committed to changing their stance.

Furthermore, Ukrainian drones were reportedly used to strike Moscow, resulting in the worst attack on the city since World War Two. Two people in the Russian capital were injured, and Russia has called it a terrorist attack. Meanwhile, Kyiv was hit by drone strikes three times in 24 hours. The United States is still gathering information on reports of drones striking Moscow, but reiterated its focus on helping Ukraine retake its territory.

Ukrainian presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak has refuted claims that Kyiv was directly involved in the Moscow attack but indicated that more such strikes could take place. The use of drones has led to speculation that Ukrainian military forces are using locally made drones, which have a range of up to 1,000 km and can carry up to 20 kg of explosives.

As Ukraine prepares to launch a counter-offensive to drive Russian forces out of its territories occupied since February 2022, tensions between the two countries remain high. The recent attacks indicate that the conflict shows no signs of abating, and the global community will need to continue to monitor the situation closely.
