Ukraine scores 1,000-mile strike inside Russia as Putin rushes air defences to capital

Starting with Moscow officials' decisions to issue bomb shelter maps.

These are particularly for areas in the southeastern suburbs of the capital.

They show hundreds of shelters, cellars beneath buildings.

Why have they done this? Well, that's what's important.

It's because Ukraine's long-range strikes are getting through to the capital.

People are understandably scared.

The war has come home to Russia.

In the last seven days, we've seen at least eight more strikes on Wildberries plants, not just against those around Moscow, across the country.

Some around 1,000 miles into the country.

But nonetheless, it comes with this dramatic footage of Ukrainian drones flying low and fast.

This is supposed to be safe territory for the Russians.

It's supposed to be protected.

But Ukraine is proving that it's not.

Those strikes on the Wildberries plant range from Sarapul, some 850 miles inside Russian territory, to occupied Crimea.

And it follows, uh, previous strikes that we talked about last week.

These strikes have had two important consequences.

Number one, we see that scramble to bolster Moscow's air defenses.

Now, this has been mapped by a journalist using satellite imagery who works for Radio Free Europe, or Radio Liberty.

He's detected 24 new air defense towers built around the Russian capital over the last two months.

These are primarily for the Pantsir short-range air defense missiles.

You remember we talked about a shortage of those missiles.

Russia was facing a crunch point around the beginning of this year.

Now, that crunch point may have passed, but the tempo of Ukrainian operations, the fact they're m- able to fire so many drones so often, is gonna mean that Russia's supplies of those missiles remain very, very stretched, and that may be part of the reason that Ukraine is having so much success in its long-range strikes.

The second consequence is a looming banking crisis.

Wildberries is Russia's largest online retailer, the answer... often described as Russia's answer to Amazon.
