Large-scale missile attacks by the Russian military have been carried out in various parts of Ukraine.
According to the British BBC, in addition to the capital Kyiv, attacks were also carried out in Lviv in the west, Kharkiv in the east, and Zaporizhia in the south.
Putin said the attack was a "retaliatory action" against Ukraine.
On October 8, the unilaterally annexed Ukraine's southern Crimea, which had been unilaterally annexed to Russia, was attacked by an explosion on a bridge connecting Russia with the Ukrainian side.
In an analysis on the 9th, the American think tank "War Research Institute" pointed out that there was a growing voice from military bloggers in Russia following the bridge explosion that retaliatory measures should be taken immediately against Ukraine.
It is said that these military bloggers openly criticized the response of the Putin administration, which is on the back foot in the war situation.
President Zelensky said, ``We will not give in to threats.
If the Ukrainian side strengthens its offensive to recapture the four provinces of Ukraine that President Putin has unilaterally annexed, there is a risk that the attack will escalate as a 'battle to defend the homeland.'
What will Putin do next?
The tension continues.
