Zelenskyy says Moscow and Kerch Bridge gain protection after Ukraine strikes

What happened

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on June 24 that Russian forces are relocating air defense systems from regional areas to Moscow and the Kerch Bridge. This information was given after a briefing from Oleh Ivashchenko, head of Ukraine's Defense Intelligence.

Outside Brief is treating this as a source-led account. Any disputed responsibility, casualty figure, battlefield claim or single-source assertion should be treated as unconfirmed/hearsay unless confirmed by another reliable source or a named official. The reported redeployment of air defenses suggests that Moscow and the Kerch Bridge are considered vulnerable targets following recent Ukrainian strikes, though independent confirmation of the strikes and the specific movements remains unavailable in the source material.

Such changes in Russian defensive posture highlight the ongoing dynamic of the conflict and may affect future military operations or strike planning on both sides.
