Britain: Moscow expands attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine

British authorities said on Sunday that Russia has stepped up attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure over the past week, following difficulties it has encountered on the battlefront. According to the British Ministry of Defence, it is likely that Moscow will further expand the range of its objectives.

As Ukrainians return to the liberated northeastern area, following a blitzkrieg of Kiev earlier this month, the Russian military has continued air and ground attacks in eastern Ukraine.

On Saturday, five civilians were killed as a result of Russian attacks in the eastern Donetsk region, while in Nikopol, a city further west of the country, several dozen residential buildings, gas pipelines and power lines were hit, regional governors announced on Sunday.

The British Ministry of Defense said that Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure have intensified over the past seven days.

" At a time when Moscow is facing problems on the front line, it is likely to expand the areas it is willing to strike in an effort to directly undermine the morale of the Ukrainian people and government ," a recent report said. of British intelligence agencies.
