Putin aims to break Ukraine by terrorizing civilians
Original: Putin aims to break Ukraine by terrorizing the civilian population
Analysis from the Atlantic Council argues that Russia's strategy in Ukraine increasingly centers on terrorizing the civilian population, rather than achieving battlefield aims alone. The piece contends that strikes and pressure aimed at ordinary Ukrainians are designed to break morale and force Kyiv into concessions. The argument feeds a wider debate over how Western allies should respond to attacks on civilians and whether current support for Ukraine's air defenses is sufficient.
Why now: Ongoing Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities keep civilian targeting at the center of the war debate
