Former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Bill Taylor, and vice president for Russia and Europe at the U.S. Institute of Peace, discussed the recent strike in Odessa, Ukraine, which occurred as President Zelensky and the Greek prime minister were leaving the port area. The strike, reportedly carried out by Russia, raised concerns about potential targeting of the leaders.
The large missile strike demonstrated the danger present in Ukraine, with the capability of accurate targeting. While the exact intention behind the strike remains unknown, it highlighted Russia's indiscriminate focus on causing damage to civilians, military, and potentially leaders.
