Paranoid Putin, 73, Makes Major Move After Humiliating Attacks

Vladimir Putin has urgently recalled frontline defense systems to help fortify Moscow after a run of humiliating Ukrainian drone strikes on the Russian capital.

The 73-year-old president has now had the gun-and-missile-launcher system set atop a massive oil refinery in the city, which provides for up to 40 percent of the capital’s fuel needs and, notably, sits less than 10 miles from his offices at the Kremlin, according to The Telegraph.

His scramble to fortify Moscow follows a barrage of drone strikes on June 18—the largest of the war so far to hit the city—that reportedly ripped into the refinery and sent a silo cap spinning skyward.
