More than three dozen people have been killed since Russia intensified strikes against civilian areas on Monday, according to Ukrainian officials.

But since the war began, and parts of the south and east have been besieged, that amount has been cut in half. Ukraine said in late August that it was mounting a counteroffensive to reclaim land in the south, and Ukrainian authorities said recently that they had reclaimed hundreds of square miles of territory in Kherson, as well as a string of villages. Putin of Russia described the attacks as retaliation for an explosion that brought down part of a bridge between Russia and Crimea and that he blamed on Ukraine.

Since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February, thousands of people have been detained and deported into Russia from areas of the country that it controls, according to U.S. As the gas trade between Russia and Europe has been disrupted by the war in Ukraine, the Kremlin has been looking for ways to divert its gas sales to other countries. Russia has in the past denied that it targets civilian areas and accused Ukraine of shelling civilians in areas of the country that Moscow and its proxy forces control. On Thursday, the pro-Russian mayor of the city of Donetsk, Alexei Kulemzin, said on Telegram that Ukrainian shelling had damaged a hospital in the city. He said on Telegram that two people were killed and 13 others wounded in the hard-hit southern Zaporizhzhia region, while in the Mykolaiv region two people were killed on Wednesday and six others were injured. In a later post on Telegram, he said that rescuers searching the building had recovered the bodies of a 31-year-old man and an 80-year-old woman.

And while the Mojaher-6 and Shahed-136 drones certainly aren’t comparable to fighter jets, arming the aggressor in the Ukraine war with as many as 2,400 of the latter while hostilities are ongoing is at least as provocative as France’s leasing and selling of those warplanes to Iraq. And, just as Iraq’s Mirage F1s penetrated deep into Iran later in the war to attack the country’s infrastructure – 13, 1986, and the Karaj dam north of Tehran the following Oct. 15 – Iranian drones are aiding and abetting Russia’s deliberate destruction of Ukraine’s infrastructure. (Shortly after the jets were delivered in October 1983, the French barracks in Beirut was infamously blown up the same day as the U.S. Baghdad used them against Iranian tankers in the Persian Gulf. [threatened](https://youtu.be/wemCdTSqbKU?t=1375) reprisals. In October 1980, Iranian intelligence discovered that 47 French Air Force technicians and Mirage fighters were arriving at northern Iraq’s al-Hurriyah airbase near Mosul. Kyiv has shot down dozens of these drones in recent weeks. The fact that Iran was subjected to similar aggression in the past also makes it an incredibly cynical move on Tehran’s part. This rankled the Iranians, who were then on the defensive, desperately fighting to fend off the Iraqi invaders and preserve their country’s territorial integrity. Russia began using its newly acquired Iranian drones in combat in September, shortly after taking delivery of the first batch in August.

The FSB detailed how it alleges the plot to blow up the bridge took place, claiming that "the explosive device was camouflaged in rolls with a construction polyethylene film on 22 pallets with a total weight of 22,770 kg." These are fake structures that serve the Putin regime, so we will definitely not comment on their regular statements," Andrey Yusov, a spokesperson for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, said in a statement provided to CNBC on Wednesday.

We, residents of the Kherson region, of course, know that Russia does not abandon its own people, and Russia always lends a shoulder where it is difficult." Vladimir Saldo said on Telegram Thursday that Ukraine was targeting the region with missile strikes every day and asked the Russian authorities for help in transporting families to Russia. Power and water supplies are still damaged in a number of regions after Russia targeted critical infrastructure across the country in strikes on Monday and Tuesday and, to a lesser extent, yesterday.

The threat is also aimed at deterring NATO nations from sending more sophisticated weapons to Ukraine. The main part of the maneuvers will be held more than 1,000 kilometers (625 miles) from Russia. I mean, that is the job of this alliance -- to make sure that the 30 partners together are ready for what is thrown at us. Putin's nuclear exercises though could make it more difficult for NATO to understand what Russia's intentions might be, potentially increasing the risk of an accident. Russia usually holds its own maneuvers around the same time, and NATO is expecting Moscow's exercise of its nuclear forces sometime this month.

Russia has unleashed a deluge of missile strikes on Ukraine in retaliation for the blast on Saturday that damaged the bridge to Crimea.

"The Ukrainian military is growing in strength while Russia is seeing its military capabilities decline inexorably as it is unable to maintain its stockpiles." Selling military parts and equipment on the black market is a widespread practice in Russia, so much so that even before the war some conscripts found themselves having to buy their own equipment." "While its soldiers are fighting on the ground, Russia is setting off fireworks. It is difficult because the Russians have steel sheet metal and explosives but are low on electronic guidance systems." Despite massive Western military aid to Ukraine in recent months, Russia still has a large military advantage over its neighbour as it commands what is considered the world’s second-most powerful army. In this context, Moscow has been forced to drastically reduce or even halt its arms deliveries abroad and turn to new suppliers, such as The following day, [G7](https://www.france24.com/en/tag/g7/) leaders promised Kyiv additional military aid, including new and improved air defence systems, during their video conference meeting.

"It wanted to prove that it is still capable of launching large-scale punitive attacks across Ukraine and hitting critical infrastructure. The day before, 19 people were killed across Ukraine in the most intense missile-strike campaign that Moscow has conducted in several months. Several military experts feel this operation is counterproductive as Moscow is struggling to replenish its weapons stocks.

He said the fundamental purpose of NATO's nuclear deterrent was to preserve peace and prevent coercion against its allies, and so the circumstances under which it might have to use nuclear weapons were "extremely remote". "The goal of Russia's deliberate attacks is to cause civilian deaths and to destroy civilian infrastructure, (and) by shortage of electricity and heating, provoke a humanitarian catastrophe," Kostin said. Kim and the city's mayor Oleksandr Sienkovych said the building’s top two floors were completely destroyed in a single strike and the rest of the building was left in ruins.
