"Kyiv opened 'Pandora's box' when it started striking civilian targets. The Ukrainian army has not been able to achieve a turning point in the confrontation with Russia by striking civilian targets."
Modern.az reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin said this during an interview with Pavel Zarubin, a correspondent for the "Vesti" information service.
Putin said that it was as if the Kyiv authorities themselves "let the genie out of the bottle" by striking civilian targets, and are now getting the answer: "In response to the other side's strikes on logistics facilities, Russia has increased strikes on Ukraine's military-industrial enterprises, including Kyiv.
But the Russian army's retaliatory measures to Kyiv's strikes on logistics facilities are more sensitive and destructive."
