The first thought that came into my mind when I saw this headline was that maybe the missiles were removed as a symbolic gesture to the politicians & political dissidents. Sort of a "fine, if you do not like what we are doing then you can be undefended agains NATO air strikes".
St Petersburg seems to be a hotbed of anti-Putin/anti-war sentiments - including at least 18 district politicians who have openly spoken against Putin.
Exclusive: Russia moves missiles from St Petersburg to Ukraine
Satellite images obtained by Yle show that Russia has been transferring anti-aircraft missiles away from St Petersburg.
