Moscow describes them as a response to Ukraine\u2019s strikes on Russian infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1452\" data-end=\"1607\">Russia has been systematically attacking the Ukrainian power grid since 2022, targeting power stations, substations and other critical infrastructure facilities.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"qr2774\" data-start=\"1609\" data-end=\"1671\">Putin has responded to Zelenskyy\u2019s warning to airlines<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1858\">The Russian President also commented on <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/main-news\/zelenskyi-ryzyky-polotiv-rosiieiu\/\">statement<\/a> Zelenskyy on the fact that <strong data-start=\"1743\" data-end=\"1857\">Russian airspace is becoming increasingly dangerous for civil aviation due to the growing number of drones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1860\" data-end=\"2037\">According to Putin, he claims not to have heard this statement personally; however, if Zelenskyy did indeed call for the risks to aviation to be taken into account, Moscow would regard this as \u00abstate terrorism\u00bb.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"2039\" data-end=\"2140\">\n<p data-start=\"2041\" data-end=\"2140\">\u00abIf he said that, it amounts to state terrorism. We will find a way to respond,\u00bb Putin said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2142\" data-end=\"2252\">He also employed the argument, traditional in Russian rhetoric, that \u00abthere are no negotiations with terrorists\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2481\">Earlier, Zelenskyy emphasised that Ukraine <strong data-start=\"2294\" data-end=\"2327\">does not pose a threat to civil aircraft<\/strong>, but called on international airlines and insurance companies to take into account the actual increase in risks in Russian airspace due to the war and regular drone attacks.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"mztlui\" data-start=\"2483\" data-end=\"2540\">Putin claims that Russian troops are stepping up their offensive<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2542\" data-end=\"2590\">Another set of statements concerned the situation on the front line.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2592\" data-end=\"2755\">Putin claimed that Russian troops had allegedly <strong data-start=\"2634\" data-end=\"2670\">are stepping up the pace of their offensive operations<\/strong>, but he declined to discuss specific results, stating that he did not want to \u00abjinx it\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2757\" data-end=\"2917\">He had previously voiced a similar view in August, claiming that the Russian army was stepping up the pace of its advance on various fronts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2919\" data-end=\"3133\">At the same time, it is impossible to independently verify all the operational claims made by the Russian leadership, and Moscow\u2019s statements regarding the situation on the front line regularly differ from the assessments of the Ukrainian command and Western analysts.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1rjmdf6\" data-start=\"3135\" data-end=\"3178\">Moscow is stepping up its rhetoric against the backdrop of the escalation<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3180\" data-end=\"3280\">Putin\u2019s statements as a whole point to further <strong data-start=\"3225\" data-end=\"3279\">the escalation of the Kremlin\u2019s military and political rhetoric<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3282\" data-end=\"3517\">On the one hand, Moscow claims to be ready for negotiations, whilst on the other, it speaks of them effectively being on hold, is preparing new attacks on Ukraine\u2019s energy sector and is threatening to retaliate against Kyiv\u2019s warnings regarding the dangers of flying over Russia.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3519\" data-end=\"3693\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Against this backdrop, the risk of a new wave of large-scale attacks on Ukraine remains high, particularly given Russia\u2019s officially announced preparations to launch strikes against energy
