Ukrainian intelligence has reportedly obtained documents revealing a “new doctrine” established by Russian President Vladimir Putin. This doctrine allegedly broadens the range of potential civilian targets for Russian military attacks as winter approaches. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the information on Saturday, stating it prompted a decision to intensify Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries. This escalation is framed as a direct response to Moscow’s altered military strategy. The move suggests a heightened anticipation of increased Russian aggression targeting civilian infrastructure. Ukraine is preparing for a potentially more brutal phase of the conflict as the winter months draw nearer. The newly revealed Russian doctrine raises concerns about the safety of civilians in Ukraine.
