Putin: Overall, I want to say that these attacks on our civilian infrastructure are not carried out solely to inflict damage on us, although I believe that is also important to the enemy. They are also intended to fuel an information campaign—or, more accurately, an information operation as part of the broader confrontation with Russia. Their objective is to create uncertainty among us, undermine confidence in our own strength, and, ideally, divide Russian society. They also seek to force Russia to suspend the offensive of our troops, even if only temporarily, in order to create conditions for starting negotiations on terms favorable to our opponent. We will not give them that chance. Source: Zarubin
