Good morning. Russia has launched deadly attacks on Ukrainian cities in retaliation for the Kerch bridge explosion and the attacks seem to have largely targeted civilians.
At least 11 people are reported to have been killed and scores more injured after Russia launched a massive wave of strikes targeting cities across Ukraine, in what the Kremlin said was a response to an attack on the Kerch bridge linking Russia and Crimea. Vladimir Putin has warned of even more “severe retaliation” in the event of further Ukrainian attacks. The US and the UN have condemned the strikes, which Joe Biden said demonstrate Putin’s “utter brutality”, and the UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said “constitute another “unacceptable escalation of the war”.
