Kremlin Says Russia Will Keep Striking Ukraine Systematically

The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia would continue systematic strikes against Ukraine after Ukrainian drones hit an oil terminal and naval base in St Petersburg, just hours before the start of an economic forum where President Vladimir Putin was due to speak.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reminded reporters of an earlier Russian foreign ministry statement that Moscow’s response would be “systematic in nature”.

“Our responses will be systematic and they already are”, Peskov said when asked about the Ukrainian attack on St Petersburg.
