The report said that back in the fall of 2022, there was information that the Russian government was discussing a backup scenario for moving decision-making centers from the capital to another city. This was reported by the telegram channel of the Russian Federation "Kremlin snuffbox", citing sources in the government. There were three cities among the candidates: Yaroslavl, Yekaterinburg, and Kazan. The channel's interlocutors said that the government has finally decided to move the capital. They want to start with individual political institutions and departments. "In connection with the latest attacks by the enemy, discussions about the transfer of individual organs have intensified. But no one in their right mind would trade Moscow for Novosibirsk or Kazan," says a government source. Kyiv has stepped up its long-range drone campaign against Russia in recent months, particularly targeting Moscow and key military infrastructure. Though most drones are intercepted before reaching the capital, the threat has caused repeated disruptions to civilian air travel.
The report also states that since Jan. 1, Ukrainian drone raids have prompted more than 225 temporary airport closures across Russia. It was recalled that Russia’s main card is its vastness of military resources, frontline manpower, tolerance for pain, and financial reserves. But repeatedly, Kyiv has shown that targeted pin pricks can burst these bubbles. In late 2022, the Ukrainians struck supply lines across occupied northern parts of Ukraine, causing a swift and embarrassing collapse of Russian positions. In 2023, they hit the Kerch Strait bridge linking Russia to occupied Crimea. And last year, they invaded Kursk, Russia proper, exposing the vulnerability of the Russian war machine’s borders. On each occasion, the narrative of the war swung back in Ukraine’s favor. It also brings to the forefront one of the key lessons of this war: the capacity for advances in technology, solid intelligence, and bold execution to reverse military trajectories many observers felt were settled. Ukraine’s first use of attack drones in 2023 has evolved to a widespread tactic, enabling it to survive the onslaught of overwhelming Russian infantry attacks across wide, imperiled frontlines. It has sent sea-drones to hit Russia’s prized Black Sea Fleet. Russia’s lumbering bulk of a military machine projects invulnerability and fearlessness towards the longest of wars as a tactic. It uses the idea of time being on its side as a key asset. But strikes like the weekend’s show its hardware is vulnerable, limited, and probably not easy to replace.
