Russia plans to increase its strikes on Kyiv and other areas of Ukraine, according to the Russian Defence Ministry. This announcement comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that Ukraine would intensify its attacks on Russian oil refineries.
The ministry indicated that Russian forces would focus on military sites and related infrastructure. Zelenskiy had said that Ukraine’s attacks would not target civilians, in response to Russia’s new airstrike policy aimed at driving people from cities like Kyiv. Recently, Russia has intensified attacks on infrastructure in Kyiv, disrupting life for its 3 million residents. Both nations deny targeting civilians in their operations.
