Explosions reported in occupied town of Dzhankoi; UN security council warns against risks of ‘catastrophic spillover’ of war
The barrage of more than 90 missiles that rained down on Ukraine was “a deliberate tactic” and attempt by Russia’s president Vladimir Putin to freeze Kyiv into submission, the US ambassador to the UN has said.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the council in remarks published on Thursday:
This tragedy would never have happened but for Russia’s needless invasion of Ukraine and its recent missile assaults against Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure.”
He seems to have decided that if he can’t seize Ukraine by force, he will try to freeze the country into submission,” she said.
There is no end in sight to the war … as long as it continues, the risks of potentially catastrophic spillover remain all too real.”
