Russia's Aggressive Tactics in Ukraine: Impact on Infrastructure, Climate, and International Relations

Russia has intensified its attacks on Ukrainian critical energy infrastructure, leading to widespread damage and blackouts in major cities. The ongoing bombardment of places like Kharkiv, far from military areas, aims to create a 'grey zone' and force inhabitants to flee.

The conflict's environmental toll is staggering, with Russia's war on Ukraine generating more greenhouse gas emissions than the annual output of many countries. The global climate emergency is exacerbated, demanding compensation for affected nations.

In response to sanctions, Russian officials encourage citizens to target Western infrastructure and economies. The devastation in towns like Vovchansk highlights the human cost of the conflict, as Ukraine struggles to defend itself using US-made drones against Russian air defense vehicles.
