Russia may soon launch a multi-purpose retaliatory strike on Ukrainian territory, Reuters reports, citing information from American officials. This move will be a response to the recent attack by Ukrainian forces on Russian strategic aviation airfields.

According to the publication's sources, the Russian command is developing a series of air strikes using missiles and drones in response to the Ukrainian operation "Spider Web." One of the representatives of the American administration specifically noted that Moscow is planning an "asymmetric" nature of the attack.

"A Western diplomatic source said that, although Russia's response may have already begun, it is likely to intensify and strikes will be carried out against symbolic Ukrainian targets, such as government buildings, in an attempt to send a clear signal to Kyiv," the publication states.
