Residents living along his motorcade route were even ordered to remain indoors during his visit to the city, according to independent outlet Novaya Gazeta. <\/p>\n<p>The reporting comes as Ukrainian forces launched a massive drone assault on the Russian capital overnight on Sunday, according to The Moscow Times.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow\u2019s provincial governor Andrei Vorobyov said on Telegram that an 83-year-old man had been killed as a result of the strikes, and several more were injured as drones struck a warehouse belonging to Russia\u2019s largest online retailer, Wildberries, in Podolsk.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine has been targeting Wildberries, the Russian equivalent of Amazon, as a way to damage Russia\u2019s economic infrastructure. Kyiv has also accused the retailer of selling supplies to aid Russia\u2019s military campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5527\">Damning New Poll Finds Voters Worse Off Under Trump<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Russian Defense Ministry said it had downed 822 Ukrainian drones, the Moscow Times reported.<\/p>\n<p>Even Putin\u2019s own allies are admitting that his war is flailing.<\/p>\n<p>Andrei Klepach, chief economist at Vnesheconombank and a former Putin appointee, offered a bleak assessment of the current status of the war during a forum in the nation\u2019s capital, The Moscow Times reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re falling behind,\u201d Klepach was quoted as saying. \u201cWe\u2019re losing both the technological and economic competition globally. And, as I\u2019ve already said, we\u2019re losing not only to China and the U.S., but in some ways, we\u2019re losing to Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe won\u2019t win the competition in this war of attrition,\u201d he added. \u201cWe\u2019re under the illusion that everything will collapse. It hasn\u2019t, and it won\u2019t. Our costs are mounting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Klepach was fired within days of his comments going public, according to multiple local media reports. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Russian president has defied criticisms of his war and vowed to double down, recently embarking on a charm offensive to counter the negative polling he\u2019s received.
