Russia has launched its largest missile attack on Ukraine in months. What led to this moment, and what can we expect to see next?
, questions are being raised over what this escalation could lead to, and whether the attacks signal the beginning of a new, more deadly phase in the conflict.
"Russia has stalled or retreated across the frontline, with significant gains for Ukraine in the Kharkiv and Kherson regions," she said. "Unfortunately for Putin, the indiscriminate nature of these attacks will only deepen Ukrainian conviction that a military victory is the only path to maintain sovereignty."
"Thirdly, there is no evidence of nuclear escalation as noted by the US and NATO … they are watching, and as of a few days ago they announced there was still no change, no evidence of Russia taking steps to escalate weaponry."Dr Mycak described the attack as a tactical move designed to incite fear in the civilian population of Ukraine.
"The longer this goes on, the more the world sees that the Putin regime is not interested in anything other than destroying Ukraine," she said.
