Ukraine will double down on attacking Russian oil refineries in response to a new policy of airstrikes by Moscow designed to force people to abandon Kyiv and other cities, but will not target civilians, President ​Volodymyr Zelenskiy said.

Ukraine’s intelligence services has obtained documents showing that Russian leader Vladimir Putin had issued a “new doctrine” of military attacks on a much broader range of civilian targets ahead of this winter, Zelenskiy said.

“We saw documents ‌and we know that they allow them to attack infrastructure, logistics, and especially to attack in the cities, in the villages, everywhere, roads, schools, hospitals,” Zelenskiy told Reuters in an interview. “To pressure people to leave the capital, leave different cities: this is the goal of the operation.”

      I do hope that you find relief soon, direct your anger at your government who has enabled exploitation. Not at the government trying to defend against fascist nationalist expansion

        Maybe I am being misundestood, I’m not defending VP’s war on UA. What I am saying is that I cannot afford to pay for it because the rent is due and the children are hungry.

      The fuck does that have to do with Ukraine being invaded by ruzzia? Ruzzia never supplied the US with Diesel, and trump is the cause for the prices rising. Not Ukraine blowing up refineries in ruzzia, they’ve been doing that long before the orange pedophile decided to attack Iran.
