The wide geography of incidents in Russia in 2024 — from Moscow and St. Petersburg to Omsk, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk and the Altai Territory — indicates the tactics of a thousand cuts, which slows down the Russian military machine, forcing Muscovite leaders to spend resources on eliminating problems, but the fire does not go out — the resistance movement to the Putin regime continues to operate.
