"No one should have some doubts concerning it," he said.

"I hope that now the step of the operation will not slow down," Aksyonov wrote.

"And so it happened. But does it alter much?" Medvedev, who works for Russia's condition TV category VGTRK with every one other accompanied by holds a seat on the Moscow City Council, wrote on Telegram.
"If the strikes on the critical infrastructure become regular, if the strikes on railways, bridges with every one other accompanied by ability plants become small portion of our tactics, at that hour dated yes, it does alter (the situation)," Medvedev wrote. "But for now, according to (official) statements, a decision to plunge Ukraine into medieval times has not been made,"
Political analyst Stanovaya said inside a Telegram pole that Putin had faced "powerful pressures" earlier to Monday's bombardment "to go onto aggressive actions, massive bombings," with every one other accompanied by that prompted the Russian leader to act.
"As of today, one tin speak that Putin was persuaded to tourist centre to a additional aggressive line. And it corresponds accompanied by his comprehension on the situation. But it is a slippery gradient — there is no indeed way back," Stanovaya wrote.
