British Ministry of Defense Russian Army Possibility of missile attacks involving civilians in the future

With Russian troops attacking Ukrainian shopping centers and killing many civilians, the British Defense Ministry has pointed out that Russian troops may continue to carry out missile attacks involving civilians.

On the other hand, President Putin is planning to meet with the leaders of the former Soviet Union countries and Middle East Iran, which Russia considers to be a sphere of influence, and it seems that there is a desire to restrain the Western side holding the NATO = North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit.

Missile attacks by Russian troops are intensifying in various parts of Ukraine, and shopping centers were attacked by Russian troops in Kremenchuk, central Poltava Oblast on the 27th.

According to Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Yulia Tymoshenko of the Ukrainian Presidential Office, at least 20 people have been confirmed dead, 59 have been injured, and more than 40 missing persons have been reported.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky slammed Russia, saying, "Russia intentionally hit a missile. It wanted to kill as many people as possible in a peaceful city shopping center."

Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry claims that the ammunition exploded as a result of attacking a warehouse where weapons and ammunition were stored, causing a fire in an adjacent shopping center.

In an analysis released yesterday, the British Ministry of Defense pointed out that the attack "may have targeted infrastructure facilities near shopping centers."

And in April, Russian troops attacked a railway station in eastern Donetsk Oblast, killing many civilians. "Russian long-range missiles are inaccurate, It is likely that they are planning an attack without worrying about involving the public on a large scale. "

Meanwhile, Russian troops are continuing to attack Lysychans'k, which is the base of the Ukrainian side, even in the eastern Luhansk Oblast, which is aiming for complete control.

Regarding this, the Ukrainian think tank "War Research Institute" analyzed on the 28th that "Ukrainian troops are close and likely to withdraw from Luhansik, including Rishchansik," and the Ukrainian side tactically withdrew the troops to further defend. He said he was trying to exhaust Russian troops by moving to a more accessible location.

Under these circumstances, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been visiting Turkmenistan for the first time since the military invasion, and from the 29th, he will visit Turkmenistan in five countries, including Iran and Azerbaijan on the Caspian Sea coast, which are rich in oil and natural gas. Attend a meeting attended by the leaders.

The NATO = North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit meeting will be held in Spain from the 29th, and discussions will be held on the accession of the two Scandinavian countries to NATO, while President Putin considers Russia to be a power zone. It seems that there is a desire to emphasize the unity with Soviet countries and Iran in the Middle East and restrain the Western side.
