Russia’s Attacks On Ukraine Are A Strategy Born Of Desperation — Estonian Foreign Minister

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has denounced Russia's recent large-scale assault on Ukraine as a "desperate strategy," attributing the intensification of strikes on civilians to Moscow's predicament on the battlefield, UATV English reported. Tsahkna revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin marked his birthday by initiating another wave of missile and drone strikes on Ukraine, primarily targeting civilians and vital infrastructure.

"Russia must be held responsible for each crime, every structure demolished, every life lost and every life forever altered by the conflict," Tsahkna stated on X. The Estonian foreign minister advocated for sustained international pressure on Russia until Moscow's present impasse results in accountability and a change in conduct.

His remarks followed Russia's night-time onslaught on October 7, during which Russian forces launched 70 missiles and drones against Kyiv and 12 Ukrainian regions, causing fatalities and injuries. Energy facilities were once again among the chief targets of the Russian attack.
