Zelensky reveals Ukraine's response to Russia's new strike strategy

unian.ua (Ukrainian) —

President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Ukraine will intensify strikes on Russian oil refineries in response to Moscow's new aerial bombing strategy aimed at forcing civilians to flee Kyiv and other cities. Zelensky stated Ukrainian intelligence obtained documents showing Putin approved a new doctrine permitting attacks on a wider range of civilian infrastructure, including roads, schools, and hospitals, to depopulate major cities. He said this shift stems from Putin's desire to show strength as his army loses ground and suffers heavy losses. Ukraine will retaliate against Russian energy targets, primarily oil refineries, but will not strike civilian infrastructure, unlike Moscow. Recent Russian attacks have targeted Kyiv's energy, communications, and bridges over the Dnipro, with experts noting 90% of the capital's bridge crossings are already in poor condition.
