The situation in Russia and Ukraine attracted international attention: the Russian army bombed the entire territory of Ukraine on the 10th and 11th. Putin said this move was in retaliation for the bombing of the Crimean bridge. However, some experts have analyzed the “real motives” behind Putin.
According to The Guardian, defense security editor Dan Sabbagh stressed that the Kremlin’s decision to bomb the Ukrainian city was political, not tactical, and that the target of the attack was a victim. Most of the casualties were civilians and the attack extended from homes, streets, playgrounds and parks. This wave of attacks also brought unprecedented large-scale fear after the war began.

The goal of the Russian military, the report said, was to “scare” the Ukrainian leadership and civilians and force Kiev to negotiate.
Furthermore, according to the report and analysis of the “New York Times”, the Russian military was humiliated on the battlefield in order to make people feel frustrated and angry, so Putin’s move was in response to the opposition from uncompromising, political critics The analyst Galliamov (Abbas Gallyamov) frankly stated in an interview that “it is important to show the ruling class that Putin is still capable and that the military is still capable of certain things”.
