He expressed this opinion on the Espreso TV channel.

"'It is not just worthwhile for Ukraine to strike at the territory of the Russian Federation, we have to do it. We need to attack Moscow and other Russian cities. Not civilian objects, but only military ones. I find myself wondering about the discussions on this topic. The Russian army has been destroying our cities and villages for a year now. They are killing our people. We have to respond in kind. Not by killing Russians, but by destroying the military infrastructure they use in the war against Ukraine," explained Hetman.

The expert emphasized the importance of destroying Russia's military infrastructure.

"We have to correspond to the Russians. Let's take Israel as an example. No one attacked this country with weapons produced at the factories that Israel destroyed. Israel decided that these plants could pose a threat in the future and destroyed them. The same applies to us. There is no need to hesitate, but to destroy the military infrastructure of the Russian Federation, which will allow us to reduce our own losses," he added.

On February 28, a drone of allegedly Ukrainian origin crashed 10 meters from a Gazprom facility in the Moscow region of Russia.

On the night of February 28, a fire broke out at a Rosneft oil depot in Tuapse, Krasnodar Krai, Russia, and local residents complained of explosions.
On the morning of February 28, in several regions of Russia, TV and radio broadcasts were interrupted by reports of a missile threat.
On February 28, due to the appearance of an unknown aircraft within a 200 km radius around St. Petersburg, the Russian airspace was closed.
Also on February 28, the Russian republic of Adygea reported the crash of an unidentified aircraft, which the Russian Defense Ministry later called a Ukrainian drone.
