With the media spotlight shifting to the Middle East, Russia is taking the opportunity to bomb civilian neighborhoods.

“Last night, a Russian missile hit a five-story apartment building in Kiev. They are still searching for bodies under the rubble. So far, seven people have been found dead. Besides being a barbarity, which has no explanation other than to terrorize the population, it causes great psychological suffering. You never know when you go to bed, which apartment building will be hit by a missile tonight.”
This is how our comrades from the Ukrainian Socialist League (LSU) tell what happened. The images broadcast show the cruel destruction caused.
They refer to the fact that on the night of June 22-23, Russia launched 352 drones and 16 missiles against Kiev. Although, according to Ukrainian authorities, most of them were neutralized by anti-aircraft weapons, several impacts caused serious damage. At least 7 people were killed and more than 20 injured, including 4 children.
While the Israeli and US attacks on Iran and Iran’s responses attract the attention of the mainstream media, Russia is taking the opportunity to attack defenseless Ukrainians with missiles in a brutal military campaign that destroys civilian infrastructure under the pretext of destroying military installations.
And this is not the first time it has happened, as the same thing happened less than a week ago.
This is a perverse logic: the greater the international distraction, the more crimes against civilians, with the aim of causing demoralization, weariness and breaking the resistance.
Even so, the Ukrainian people are resisting as best they can, both on the front lines and in the rear, organizing shelters, repairing power lines, freeing collective spaces to share relief and solidarity.
Not for a second should the new US-Israel-Iran escalation hide the fact that war crimes in Ukraine and Palestine continue to cause thousands of deaths, mainly of children.
Stop Putin’s bombing! Russian imperialism out of Ukraine! Solidarity with the Ukrainian people!
