The drone attack on Moscow illustrates the increasing two-sided nature of the war with Ukraine; despite Russian advances in Eastern Ukraine, Kyiv is unrelenting on their attacks in the Russian motherland- also invading the Kursk region several weeks ago and increasing drone and artillery attacks along the border between the two countries.
