Russia will continue its shahed terror until at least 18–20 September, - Budanov. VIDEO
Kyrylo Budanov, Head of the President’s Office, believes that Russia may continue to launch rocket-powered drone strikes against Ukraine at least until the parliamentary elections in the Russian Federation, which are due to take place on 18–20 September.
He made this statement in comments to journalists, as reported by Censor.NET.

"Elections are approaching in Russia. They, too, need to show their voters some kind of striking image of victory, because they are not experiencing victory on the battlefield. Just as the rest of the world is not," he noted.
According to Budanov, this is why the Russians are resorting to terror – because they do not know how to act otherwise.
"At least until the elections, as I understand it. Everyone is also working on countermeasures; we will carry on working," he concluded.
