According to one anonymous Russian official, rocket strokes on the energy structure of Ukraine will not be able to relieve tension in the middle of the Russian Federation.

According to the source, no one among the Russian elite is dissatisfied with the state of things.

The mood is very bad," said one of the Russian businessmen who talked to journalists.
