Anatoly was speaking on Leninsky Prospekt, a street in a quiet and well-off neighborhood of southwest Moscow that he has called home for 40 years. He will not have woken up before to a drone crashing into a neighbor’s balcony. “Everything is just beginning,” said Marina, who did not want her last name used out of fear of speaking out. “I don’t know who can have a sense of security right now.”Svetlana, another local resident who also feared sharing her last name, said she was out for a morning walk with her dog when she saw emergency services arriving and assumed there was a fire. She then learned that a drone had hit one of the buildings in the neighborhood.
Putin himself said in a brief statement much later Tuesday that the air defense work was satisfactory, and that there was an understanding of how to seal the capital’s skies going forward.
