Russian attacks on Ukraine: "Primary objective is to target the population"

Now2 September 2026 at 21:14

Russian attacks on Ukraine have intensified in recent weeks, with the primary objective of targeting the civilian population, according to specialists. The Russian military strategy seeks to deconstruct the international perception of weakness after the Ukrainian raids on Russian refineries and ports.

The specialist Isidro de Morais Pereira commented that the intensified bombings aim to project strength and reverse the narrative of vulnerability that had settled after the Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory.

The attacks have caused civilian casualties and significant damage to critical infrastructure, at a time when the war continues without signs of resolution. The international community has been following the escalation of the conflict with concern.
