Civilians in Russia’s\u00a0border regions have been consistently targeted by Ukrainian drones throughout the conflict, with Moscow accusing Kiev of \u201cterrorism.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Moscow has insisted that Kiev is attacking civilians because it cannot halt Russian advances on the battlefield. Ukrainian officials claim that inflicting sufficient economic damage will force the Kremlin to abandon its objectives in the four-year conflict.<\/p>\n

Beyond civilian casualties, Ukraine has also been attacking energy infrastructure. Pipeline operator Gazprom reported on Wednesday that some of its compressor stations, including one serving the TurkStream pipeline, had been hit. The Russian Defense Ministry has accused Kiev of seeking to disrupt deliveries to European consumers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
