[RT] Ukraine
has launched a series of deadly attacks on Russian
territory, using Western-supplied weapons and targeting data from its
backers while the world’s attention has remained fixed on the escalating
war in Iran.
At least 23 civilians have been killed and 85
injured by Ukrainian attacks on Russia since February 28, the day the US
and Israel began bombing Iran.
RT has been closely monitoring
these developments, documenting a pattern of strikes that have targeted
civilians and infrastructure across Russian regions.
What attacks has Ukraine carried out on Russian civilains?
The
deadliest attack took place on Tuesday 10 March, when Ukrainian drones
struck a hospital in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), killing
ten medical personnel. Another ten people, including nine staff, were
injured.

On the same day the Ukrainian military used a UK-supplied Storm Shadow
missile to attack the city of Bryansk, about 100 kilometers from the
Ukrainian border, killing at least seven civilians and wounding at least
42 people. Using such a weapon is impossible without the direct
involvement of British military specialists.

On March 8, International Women's Day and a public holiday in Russia, a family of four, including a six-year-old boy, were killed and twelve others injured by a wave of Ukrainian strikes on the DPR.
On
March 6, two people were killed when Ukrainian drone dropped explosives
on civilians outside a grocery store in Russia's Kherson Region. A
drone raid on the city of Novorossiysk in southern Russia on March 4
injured seven and caused extensive damage, including to kindergartens.
The DPR, along with the neighboring Lugansk People’s Republic
(LPR), seceded from Ukraine following a Western-backed coup in Kiev in
2014. The two territories, along with Zaporozhye Region and Kherson
Region, joined Russia following referendums in September 2022.
Civilians in Russia's border regions have been consistently targeted
by Ukrainian drones throughout the conflict, with Moscow accusing Kiev
of “terrorism.”
Moscow has insisted that Kiev is
attacking civilians because it cannot halt Russian advances on the
battlefield. Ukrainian officials claim that inflicting sufficient
economic damage will force the Kremlin to abandon its objectives in the
four-year conflict.
Beyond civilian casualties, Ukraine has also
been attacking energy infrastructure. Pipeline operator Gazprom reported
on Wednesday that some of its compressor stations, including one
serving the TurkStream pipeline, had been hit. The Russian Defense
Ministry has accused Kiev of seeking to disrupt deliveries to European
consumers.
