Tuesday, 10 September 2024 () The use of sanctions failed to deter Russia from invading Ukraine and failed to persuade Moscow to end it - and yet despite one of the most dramatic escalations in this conflict so far, the West is just issuing more of them, and limited ones at that.
In response to recent Ukrainian drone strikes that damaged residential areas in Moscow's suburbs, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has sharply criticised the attacks, asserting that they have no place in legitimate military operations. Peskov condemned the targeting of civilian infrastructure, describing it as a clear indication of the aggressive nature of the Ukrainian government. He emphasised that Russia must continue its military operations to protect against such attacks, while the Defense Ministry reported intercepting 144 drones during the overnight assault. The intensified drone strikes, which have increasingly targeted both residential and energy infrastructure, have heightened tensions and escalated the conflict.

On September 10, Russian President Vladimir Putin, alongside Chinese leadership, inaugurated the "Ocean-2024" naval exercise, marking the largest joint naval drill in three decades. The expansive operation spans the Pacific and Arctic Oceans, the Mediterranean, Caspian, and Baltic Seas, featuring over 400 warships, 120 aircraft, and more than 90,000 personnel from Russia and China. Putin emphasized the drillβs significance in testing combat readiness and modern weaponry integration, while also criticizing U.S. military actions for provoking an arms race and destabilizing global security. The exercise, which includes contributions from the People's Liberation Army Navy, has sent shockwaves through NATO and the U.S., underscoring the growing strategic partnership between Moscow and Beijing amid rising geopolitical tensions.
