The situation between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate, with both sides engaging in increasingly aggressive actions. Recent reports suggest that Moscow has accused Ukraine of carrying out terrorist attacks, both inside Russia and abroad.
Kiev has stepped up its drone strikes on Russian civilian and energy infrastructure in recent months, amid continued setbacks on the battlefield. One of the deadliest recent attacks was the May 22 strike on a college dormitory in Starobelsk, which killed 21 people – mostly teenage girls.
Moscow has since vowed "systematic and consistent strikes" on Ukrainian military infrastructure and "decision-making centers" in response to Kiev's terrorist attacks. The move marks a significant escalation of the conflict, with both sides showing little signs of backing down.
