Russia's strategy of escalating war crimes in Ukraine, analyst argues

Original: Russian strategy of war crimes escalation in Ukraine (winter 2026/2027)

Phillips P. O'Brien's latest weekend update examines Russia's conduct in the war in Ukraine, arguing Moscow is pursuing a deliberate strategy of escalating war crimes heading into the winter of 2026/2027. The analysis links intensified strikes and attacks on civilians and infrastructure to a calculated effort to break Ukrainian resistance rather than battlefield necessity alone.

Why now: The war in Ukraine remains a top global concern, and analyses of Russian escalation draw wide attention as winter approaches.
