A senior member of the Free Russian Army, an armed group of Russians that opposes the Putin regime in Russia, gave an interview to NHK. The senior official said that while working closely with the Ukrainian military, "we are carrying out attacks on Russian territory on our own" "We aim to remind the elites that Putin will lose the war and the regime will collapse, and eventually enter the capital," he said, emphasizing that the goal is to attack Moscow to overthrow Putin's government.

"We still have few troops, but our goal is Moscow," he added.
