"Russia is at a dead end on the battlefield, so it terrorizes Ukraine with deliberate strikes on city centers."

The Head of European Diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, sharply reacted to Russia's latest massive strike on Ukrainian cities, including the use of the "Oreshnik" medium-range ballistic missile. She wrote about this on the social network X.

According to Kallas, Moscow took this step due to failures at the front:

"Russia is at a dead end on the battlefield, so it terrorizes Ukraine with deliberate strikes on city centers."

The politician emphasized that such attacks are aimed precisely against the civilian population, and called them "abhorrent acts of terror designed to destroy as many civilians as possible."

Kaja Kallas drew special attention to the use of the newest missile system by Russian troops:

"Reports of Moscow's use of 'Oreshnik' medium-range ballistic missiles — systems designed to carry nuclear warheads — are a tactic of political intimidation and reckless nuclear brinkmanship."

The Head of EU Diplomacy also announced a serious response from European countries. She reported that next week, the foreign ministers of the EU countries will gather to discuss "how to increase international pressure on Russia."

    Неужели на пятый год войны ЕС наконец-то направит Украине дальнобойные ракеты в нужном количестве, или перестанет покупать российскую нефть, или разрешит использовать технологии по наведению ракет, или еврочиновники в очередной раз ограничатся лишь высказыванием озабоченности?
