Russia-Ukraine War: A long gap has passed since the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. In this war that has been going on for more than six months, Ukraine has given a tough fight to Russia and has captured many areas including Kharkiv occupied by Russian troops. But these parts are badly devastated. After this defeat, Russia can now become more aggressive. The British Defense Ministry has warned that Russia may now increase its attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine as it faces defeat on the battlefield.
The ministry said in an online briefing, “In the past seven days, Russia has sharpened its focus on civilian infrastructure, now it can also attack civilian targets. It will no longer see any logic. The attacks by Ukrainian troops in the past few days have faced setbacks, now Russia will attack places that will directly undermine the morale of the people of Ukraine and the government there.
At the same time, a Washington-based think tank, the Institute for the Study of War, said that Russian forces can now attack villages in Donetsk.
