If the war in Ukraine continues, the infrastructure of the country of Volodymyr Zelensky “will be demolished and Ukraine will be sent to the 18th century,” the vice-president of the Duma, the lower house of the Federal Assembly of the federation, launched on Wednesday. from Russia.
On Wednesday, Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure caused massive power and water cuts, particularly in the capital Kyiv, killing at least six people, denounced by Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday as “crimes against humanity” before the UN Security Council.
Emmanuel Macron, for his part, described these attacks as a “war crime” that “cannot go unpunished.”
“Don’t worry”
Targeting the country’s infrastructure is Moscow’s new strategy to try to win the war in Ukraine. In early November, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken believed that this Russian strategy served to “make up for” Russia’s defeats on the battlefield. “I do not agree with the claims that Russia is not successful on the ground, on the battlefield, it does not have a missile,” Piotr Tolstoy replies on BFMTV.
“Don’t worry,” he says.
The “problem” of the Russian army, according to the vice-president of the Duma, is that Moscow “does not want to attack the civilian population.” “Otherwise, we could cut tens of kilometers on the battlefield with the missiles we have,” he said.
These words of Piotr Tolstoy are widely questioned by the facts denounced by many NGOs and the Ukrainian authorities. Since the start of the conflict, hundreds of war crimes investigations have been opened against members of the Russian military.
