Putin questions crucial infrastructure protection amid intensified Ukrainian attacks

MOSCOW, March 13 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin discussed measures to protect Russia's critical infrastructure with his Security Council, the Kremlin said on Friday, after ‌intensified Ukrainian attacks that hit a major military plant among other targets.

Putin ‌asked Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, Transport Minister Vitaly Savelyev and Construction Minister Irek Faizullin to report on ​the proposed measures in his opening remarks, with the rest of the meeting not made public.

Ukraine said on March 10 that it had used British Storm Shadow missiles to hit a factory that produced semiconductor devices and integrated micro chips for missiles in the ‌city of Bryansk, just over ⁠100 km (60 miles) from Ukraine's border.

After the attack, which killed six people, some Russian war bloggers expressed bewilderment that such a crucial ⁠site for meeting Russia's battlefield needs had not been evacuated during four years of war and was operating within reach of Ukrainian missiles.
