Kyiv — President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced that Ukraine will intensify attacks on Russian oil refineries in response to Moscow's new policy of airstrikes aimed at forcing residents to abandon cities like Kyiv. Ukraine's intelligence services have uncovered documents indicating that Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a new doctrine allowing military attacks on civilian infrastructure, including roads, schools, and hospitals, according to Zelenskiy.
The president revealed these details in an interview with Reuters. Zelenskiy stated that the goal is to pressure people to leave cities and the capital, driving the shift in policy due to Putin's desire to appear strong as his military faces losses and increased casualties in a key frontline region. The Kremlin did not comment on Saturday, but in a statement, it urged foreign nationals to leave Ukraine.
