Putin on the Path of Revenge for the Crimean Bridge Explosion
Putin on the path of revenge for the Crimean Bridge explosion as Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, has been heavily shaken by Russian military’s missile attacks on the capital and several major Ukrainian cities.
Several missiles have hit densely populated and crowded areas of Ukraine’s capital, and the Russian military deliberately chose the attack time during peak civilian traffic hours in the capital. Prior to this attack, and in the past two days, the Russian military had focused its heavy missile attacks on the city of Zaporizhzhia, which coincidentally is one of the regions Putin claims to have annexed to Russian territory.
The Russian missile attacks on various parts of Ukraine have been intensely ongoing, and now in Kyiv, Ukrainian officials are assessing the damages and casualties, with eight deaths identified so far. There is no new information about the casualties from missile attacks on other Ukrainian cities, yet the wave of missile attacks has been extremely heavy and has caused unprecedented damage to areas like Kharkiv. Vladimir Putin will hold an important Russian national security meeting today, Monday, and the West is watching this meeting and Putin’s remarks to understand his reaction to recent events and his new decisions.
