Moscow has been making headlines due to its involvement in various geopolitical conflicts and controversies. The Russian government, led by President Vladimir Putin, has faced accusations of orchestrating assassination plots, engaging in aggressive military actions, and clamping down on political dissent. The recent addition of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Russia's wanted criminals list has further escalated tensions between the two countries. Additionally, Russia's display of captured vehicles from the war in Ukraine has highlighted the ongoing conflict in the region.
Moscow, the capital and largest city of Russia, is situated on the Moskva River in Western Russia. With a population of approximately 12.6 million residents, Moscow serves as a political, economic, and cultural hub in the country. The city is known for its iconic landmarks such as the Kremlin, Red Square, and St. Basil's Cathedral. Moscow plays a significant role in shaping Russia's policies and international relations, with President Putin often at the forefront of decision-making.
