The Russian military in a statement Wednesday threatened to strike Ukrainian “decision-making centers” - including those in Ukraine’s capital - in response to what Russia said were “attempts of sabotage and strikes” on Russian territory, writes CNN.

“We see attempts of sabotage and strikes by Ukrainian troops on objects on the territory of the Russian Federation”, - said Russian Ministry of Defense spokesperson Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, in a statement. “If such cases continue, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will strike at decision-making centers, including in Kyiv, from which the Russian army has thus far refrained”.

Russia, earlier this month, accused Ukraine of mounting a helicopter attack on a fuel depot inside Russian territory. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has neither confirmed nor denied the attack.
