A leading Kremlin propagandist has erupted in fury over an alleged CIA-backed drone strike on one of Vladimir Putin's residences, using state television to vow to "kill more people" in Ukraine as Russia's war rhetoric takes an increasingly violent turn.
The remarks coincided with threats from Dmitry Medvedev directed at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, further complicating prospects for a near-term resolution and raising concerns about broader escalation. Now in its fourth year, the conflict has seen such statements highlight divisions within Moscow's approach as Russia faces continued losses on the battlefield.
