Russia has begun attacking targets in Ukraine that are prohibited by international conventions
The Kremlin is doing everything it can to cause as much harm as possible to ordinary Ukrainians.
Since the end of November, Russia has radically changed the tactics of air attacks on Ukraine. Now the occupiers have targeted targets that are considered inviolable during any war.
Previously, Russia attacked the railway only in eastern Ukraine, now it has moved to the west of the country.
Russian troops have switched to new tactics of air attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. In particular, for the first time, the Russians have fired on targets that were previously considered inviolable due to their key role in ensuring the lives of millions of people. On December 5, Russia launched 653 air targets over Ukraine, including strike drones, Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, North Korean KN-23, Iskander and Kalibr cruise missiles. One of the main strikes fell on the railway junction in the city of Fastiv near Kyiv.
“Previously, Russia systematically attacked railways only in eastern Ukraine,” the columnist wrote. Now, however, the Russians have expanded the vector of their attacks and are hitting railway infrastructure deep in the Ukrainian rear, causing harm to ordinary citizens.
Another strike fell on the sorting center of Nova Poshta in Dnipro. At that time, residents of the city wrote that tens of thousands of parcels were destroyed as a result of the Russian strike, including shipments for the Ukrainian military, such as helmets and night vision devices.
Medical logistics have also begun to be under the Russians’ sights.
” end of November Russia attacks central distribution bases supplying hospitals. After the strike on the warehouse in Lviv, 600 medical facilities were left without supplies.
Attacks on energy infrastructure remain one of Russia’s main goals. Due to enemy strikes, Ukrainians live 12-16 hours a day without electricity.
On the night of December 7, Russian troops attacked Ukraine with attack drones and Kinzhal missiles, which were launched from MiG-31Ks. Russian Shahed drones flew over the Kyiv region. Fastiv was under attack. Powerful explosions also sounded in Kremenchuk, Poltava region. The Russians carried out a combined strike on the city.
Later, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Russian Federation had launched 246 targets during the night of December 7.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyі reacted emotionally to the Russian Federation’s attack. Over the week, the Russians launched more than 1,600 strike drones, about 1,200 guided bombs and almost 70 missiles of various types. Infrastructure that supports normal life was under attack.
