Putin aims to break Ukraine by terrorizing civilians, think tank says
Original: Putin aims to break Ukraine by terrorizing the civilian population
The Atlantic Council argues that Vladimir Putin's strategy in Ukraine is to break the country's will by deliberately terrorizing the civilian population, rather than defeating its armed forces alone. The analysis points to sustained strikes on cities, infrastructure and ordinary residents as a core element of Moscow's approach, framing the attacks as intended to demoralize Ukrainians and force concessions.
Why now: Ongoing Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities keep the question of deliberate targeting of civilians at the center of debate about the war.
