Vladimir Putin is facing mounting pressure over Ukraine’s escalating attacks on Moscow, which he has been able to largely insulate from the war until now.

Residents of the city describe widespread alarm and criticism of authorities after a series of damaging strikes over recent weeks that the regime has appeared helpless to prevent. Even loyalist media are joining a rising chorus of dissent. The rising threat could force the Russian President to consider exit strategies from the war, analysts believe.

The strikes are a blow to the Kremlin, which has sought to protect Moscow from more than four years of war. Army recruitment and casualties have disproportionately fallen on provinces, prisons and foreign fighters to spare the capital.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to press European allies on defense spending and a potential role in securing the Strait of Hormuz when he and other top diplomats arrive in Sweden on Thursday for two days of high-level talks.

The NATO foreign ministers meeting comes at a time of upheaval inside the alliance, as several senior U.S. officials, including Rubio, increasingly question the value of a partnership that has for decades served as the cornerstone of trans-Atlantic security.
