Russia unleashed air strikes on Ukrainian civilians to deceive

Trump's reaction and the location on the front

Trump expressed the desire to end the war in Ukraine and announced that he would end the conflict within 24 hours of his inauguration. Despite these promises, Trump seems to be increasingly impatient towards Moscow and Kyiv. Between the threat of further sanctions against Russia and the hint that he could withdraw from the matter, he has swan back and forth.

The analysts of the Institute for the Study of War, a US conflict observation center, judge the brutal air campaign in Russia as part of a strategy to give Russia to win the war. The aim is to smash the Ukrainian morality and to convince the West that a Russian victory in Ukraine is inevitable and that support from Ukraine is pointless. Putin is aware that the only way to win the war quickly is that the western allies of Ukraine, especially the United States, give up their support.

The devastating effects of the attacks

The consequences of the Russian attacks are terrifying. In the past month, at least 209 civilians were killed in Ukraine, which is the deadliest month since September 2024, according to the UN human rights observation office in Ukraine. The month was particularly tragic for Ukrainian children - the worst record since June 2022, with 19 killed and 78 injured children. Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said that the attacks showed again last weekend that Russia's goal was "fear and death".

The parents of the three martynyuk children killed were injured in the attack, the mother was seriously. Roman, the oldest child, was about to graduate, like the school, all three visited. Tamara's teacher, Oleh Hodovaniuk, reported that Monday was a very difficult day for school. "It was the sign of the war everywhere. The school windows were smashed by the pressure waves of the explosions. A memorial place at the entrance to the school was flooded with flowers and plush toys." The news of her death shaken the community to the mark, and many children were so desperate that they could not come to school and take part in the memory.

"Nobody coordinated this, but most of the school wore black," he said. "Tamara was very good and modest, like all children in her family."
