Kyiv — President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine will intensify attacks on Russian oil refineries in retaliation for Moscow's new doctrine of airstrikes aimed at compelling citizens to evacuate cities like Kyiv, Reuters reported. Ukraine's intelligence agencies have acquired documents indicating that Russian President Vladimir Putin had introduced this aggressive new policy, targeting crucial civilian infrastructure such as roads, schools, and hospitals, Zelenskyy told the news agency.
The Ukrainian leader stressed that the primary objective of these military actions is to coerce people to abandon their homes in Kyiv and other urban areas, as Russia's forces continue to suffer heavy losses in the eastern frontline. While the Kremlin did not respond to requests for comment, a statement urging foreigners to leave Ukraine was issued.
