War in Ukraine: "Russia is making the terrain more dangerous"

Now5 September 2026 at 11:37

Russia carried out a bombardment in the historic center of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, in an attack that Uriã Fancelli considers to have strong symbolism. This attack occurs at a particularly sensitive moment, when American envoys were about to visit the region.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, envoys from the United States, had scheduled a visit to the conflict zone. The bombardment is interpreted as a strategic message from Moscow, sent precisely before this diplomatic visit.

Fancelli highlights that the choice of target in the historic center of Kiev was not random, representing a calculated gesture on the part of Russia. This attack aims to demonstrate military capability and send a political message to the American mediators.
