Russia’s escalation of its campaign of terror against Ukraine’s civilian population is evidence of the Kremlin’s growing desperation, as it has failed to achieve its strategic goals in the war.
According to a Ukrinform correspondent, Yurii Vitrenko, Ukraine’s Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna, made this statement during a regular meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council.
“Russia’s escalation of its campaign of terror against the civilian population and its brutal actions in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine are a clear manifestation of the Kremlin’s growing desperation. Russia has failed to achieve any of its strategic objectives. It has failed to destroy Ukrainian statehood, just as it has failed to break the Ukrainian people’s resolve to resist,” Vitrenko said.
He informed the delegations of OSCE member states that last night Russia carried out one of the largest airstrikes on Ukraine. As a result of the massive attack on Kyiv, more than 20 facilities were damaged, mostly residential buildings. An ambulance station, a research institute, a hotel, and businesses were also damaged.
In addition, the Kharkiv, Kyiv, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Cherkasy regions were attacked.
