Ukraine to hit Russian refineries in response to Moscow’s airstrikes

# Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky says his country will intesify attacks on Russian oil refineries in response to a new policy of airstrikes by Moscow designed to force people to abandon Kyiv and other cities. Ukrainian intelligence has obtained documents showing ​that Russian leader Vladimir Putin had issued a “new doctrine” of military attacks on a much broader range of civilian targets ahead of this winter. Zelensky added it was Putin’s desire to appear strong at a time when his military was losing ground in a key frontline region and sustaining higher levels of casualties.
