Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with the Security Council, said that Ukraine was launching strikes on Russian territory in order to disrupt the elections. He said that “the Russian people will respond to these actions with even greater unity.”

“In order to disrupt the voting process, to intimidate people at least in the regions bordering Ukraine, the Kiev neo-Nazi regime has conceived and is trying to carry out a number of criminal demonstrative armed actions,” Mr. Putin said (quoted from TASS)

The head of state said that in recent days the enemy had committed four acts of sabotage in the Belgorod region and one in the Kursk region, but “fled with heavy losses.” The President cited the following data: over 2.5 thousand people, 35 tanks, 40 armored vehicles took part in sabotage; losses – 60% among personnel and 50% of equipment. More than 95% of enemy missiles and shells are destroyed by Russian air defenses, Mr. Putin added. “These enemy attacks do not and will not remain unpunished,” the president said.
