Russia has been penetrated like a sieve. The greatest significance of Ukraine's drone raid on Russian military airbases on June 1st is not only in the number of strategic bombers destroyed or the extent to which it weakened Russia's long-range strike capability, but also in the strong strategic deterrence and psychological intimidation it objectively imposed on the Russian mainland, making the Russian military and civilians feel "paranoid" and live in constant fear.
According to Zelenskyy, this operation codenamed "Spider Web" covered multiple military airports spanning three Russian time zones, with the strike range even reaching Siberia far from the Ukrainian-Russian border. This indicates that there is no place in Russia that is absolutely safe.
The "Spider Web" operation took one year, six months, and nine days from planning to successful implementation. During this period, it was necessary to smuggle drones into the vicinity of Russian airports, manufacture special wooden crates for placing drones, find safe and suitable trucks to transport the crates, and have reliable personnel remotely control them simultaneously.
Such a large, cumbersome, and time-consuming operation plan occurred within Russia itself, yet Russian intelligence and security agencies did not detect any hint, nor were they able to prevent it successfully. As someone出身of the KGB, Putin can't help but feel embarrassed.
Zelenskyy revealed that the operation headquarters was located within Russia, close to the security bureau of a certain Russian region. Moreover, the Ukrainian personnel had been safely evacuated from Russia the night before the operation with the help of Russian "pro-Ukrainian individuals."
If Zelenskyy's statement is true, then Russia has been thoroughly infiltrated, with no inch of safe ground left. The author noticed that recently, when Putin commended multi-child families and heroic mothers, he only held a video conference, whereas in previous years, these heroic mothers and multi-child families would be invited to the Kremlin for face-to-face meetings with Putin.
