Russia accused of escalating war crimes strategy in Ukraine
Original: Russian strategy of war crimes escalation in Ukraine (winter 2026/2027)
Phillips P. O'Brien's latest weekend update argues Russia is pursuing a deliberate strategy of escalating war crimes against Ukraine heading into the winter of 2026/2027. The piece frames intensified strikes and attacks on civilians and infrastructure as a calculated escalation rather than battlefield necessity. Readers are debating whether Moscow's campaign aims to break Ukrainian resistance through humanitarian pressure and how Western governments should respond.
Why now: Renewed analysis of Russian strikes and targeting as winter approaches is prompting debate over whether Moscow is intentionally escalating attacks on civilians.
