Describing the latest attacks as "the straw that broke the camel's back," the statement said, "Under these conditions, the Russian Armed Forces will begin to systematically carry out strikes on military industrial facilities in Kyiv, including centers where UAVs are designed, produced, programmed, and prepared for use.
