Russia widens strikes on Ukrainian civilian targets after frontline setbacks: Britain

Three firemen stand in front of a destroyed building in Kramatorsk, in the Donetsk region on September 18, 2022, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. - AFPPIX: Russia has widened its strikes on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure in the past week following setbacks on the battlefield and is likely to expand its target range further, Britain said on Sunday.

Britain’s defence ministry said Russian strikes at civilian infrastructure, including a power grid and a dam, have intensified over the past seven days. Residents of Izium have been searching for dead relatives at a forest grave site where emergency workers began exhuming bodies last week. The causes of death for those at the grave site have not yet been established, although residents say some died in an air strike.

Making his way between graves and trees at the forest site where exhumations were underway, Volodymyr Kolesnyk was trying to match numbers written on wooden crosses with names on a neatly handwritten list to locate relatives who he said died in an air strike in the early days of war. Kolesnyk said he got the list from a local funeral company that dug the graves.

“I’ve still kept this feeling, that any moment a shell could explode or an airplane could fly over,“ said Nataliia Yelistratova, who travelled with her husband and daughter 80 km on a train from Kharkiv to her hometown of Balakliia to find her apartment block intact, but scarred by shelling.

Oh, big deal. Didn't the allied (US & British) did the same things in Iraq before ? Hypocrite western media !
