"He will hide": Analysts predict how Putin will respond to Western missile strikes on Russia, according to Zelensky.

The so-called "president" of Russia, Vladimir Putin, is likely to temporarily "lie low" after the first strikes on Russia by Western missiles. He is too cowardly to face all threats and does not confront them.

This was stated by the advisor to the head of the President's Office, Mikhail Podolyak, in a comment to "RBK-Ukraine". He reminded that Putin often disappears during critical moments for Russia, and this has happened multiple times before.

"In a few days, we will again see that the person is out of contact. He always disappears when a crisis arises. I think he will hide and, as always, try not to respond to existing challenges," he suggested.

As previously reported, Ukrainians struck a munitions depot in the Bryansk region, and media outlets reported that ATACMS were involved in its destruction. The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, hinted that Ukraine has not only American missiles for strikes on Russia, but also domestic "Neptunes".

On November 17, U.S. President Joseph Biden authorized the use of tactical ballistic missiles ATACMS on Russian territory. Immediately after that, information emerged that Ukraine received similar authorization from France and the UK regarding Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles.

On November 20, Ukraine first used British cruise missiles Storm Shadow to strike Russian territory. The target was an object near the village of Maryino in the Kursk region, where approximately 15 explosions were recorded.
