Ukraine says Putin's new doctrine targets civilian infrastructure before winter

Ukraine claims intelligence shows Russia has adopted a new doctrine targeting civilian infrastructure more heavily before winter, prompting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to vow a harsh response. Zelenskyy told Reuters Ukraine will double attacks on Russian oil refineries in retaliation for Moscow's intensified air strikes on Kyiv, while insisting Ukraine will not target civilians. He says documents reveal the Russian doctrine aims to pressure people into leaving the capital by striking infrastructure, logistics, roads, schools, and hospitals. Zelenskyy says Putin introduced the doctrine to appear strong as Russia loses ground in Donbas, where Ukraine has recaptured about 140 square kilometers. Ukraine struck two Russian oil facilities on Friday, and Russia has warned of large-scale attacks on Kyiv.
