According to British intelligence services, the recent Russian missile attacks on Ukraine conceal a new strategy. The defense ministry in London said on Saturday that Russia was unlikely to want to destroy infrastructure with Friday morning’s wave of attacks, which killed at least 25 people.
There is a realistic possibility that Russia has attempted to attack Ukrainian reserve units, as well as military supplies recently delivered to Ukraine. Russia follows an “inefficient targeting process” and accepts civilian casualties in favor of a supposed military necessity.
Less missiles
The attack on April 28 was the largest use of cruise missiles since early March, it said. “The attacks signal a shift away from Russia’s use of long-range strikes.” Fewer missiles were used than in the winter when Russia focused mainly on Ukrainian infrastructure.
The Ministry of Defense in London has been publishing information on the course of the war on a daily basis since the beginning of the Russian offensive war against Ukraine, citing information from intelligence services. Moscow accuses London of a disinformation campaign.
Meanwhile, Moscow citizens commemorated the Ukrainian victims with flowers: “Police officers appeared at the Lesja Ukrainka monument in Moscow, where flowers were brought to commemorate the deceased Ukrainians,” the independent internet portal Astra reported on Saturday evening. The police officers later cleared away the flowers and asked mourners to “go away to Ukraine,” the portal reported, citing eyewitnesses. There were also spontaneous expressions of mourning in the provincial town of Yoshkar-Ola on the Volga, according to Astra. There, flowers appeared at the monument to the victims of political repression.
In the fall, after the rocket attack on a residential building in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, which killed more than 40 people, the monument to the Ukrainian poetess Lesja Ukrainka in Moscow became a memorial to the war victims. Eventually, the police patrolled there to prevent the laying of flowers and wreaths.
