Vladimir Putin is reverting to full brutalist form after his military got off to a slow start in its effort to conquer Ukraine.
Russian missiles and rockets slammed into Kharkiv’s central Freedom Square on Tuesday, blowing up a civilian government headquarters and damaging the opera house and concert hall. Russian missiles also hit the TV tower in Kyiv — and far greater horrors against civilian targets are no doubt coming soon.
As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on video after the Kharkiv blast, Russia’s current attacks are “outright, undisguised terror” against civilians.
