Ukraine has targeted energy facilities deep inside Russian territory and there have been repeated attacks on depots belonging to Russia’s two biggest online retailers, Wildberries and Ozon. <\/p>\n
Its drone attacks have for months led to disruption at some of Russia’s biggest airports, especially in Moscow where at times all four major airports have been forced to halt arrivals and departures. <\/p>\n
Several cancellations were reported on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Ukraine does not have to target airports to cause disruption.<\/p>\n
Under Russia’s air defence “Kovyor” (carpet) plan, flights are suspended if a drone is detected in the relevant area. <\/p>\n
Aviation risk advisory firm Osprey Flight Solutions said in an alert to clients that while the majority of Ukraine’s drone and missile strikes were likely to occur within 300km (186 miles) of the border, daily attacks deeper inside Russia were almost certain to continue this year.<\/p>\n
“There is also a realistic possibility that the frequency of Ukrainian strikes will continue to increase in the short term deep inside Russian territory,” the alert added. “It is assessed that miscalculation and\/or misidentification is likely in areas related to the Ukraine conflict.”<\/p>\n
Speaking to reporters at the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation summit in Kyrgyzstan, Putin said: “They are asking us to resume negotiations… but you don’t negotiate with terrorists.”<\/p>\n
