In recent days, Russia has stepped up its use of a variety of missiles against targets across Ukraine – attacks that have resulted in civilian casualties in many places, most notably in Kremenchuk on Monday. The head of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valeriy Zaluzhniy, said on Tuesday: “Four days ago, the enemy fired 53 cruise missiles from various platforms, three days ago – 26 missiles, two days ago – almost 40 and 12 in the last 24 hours. “ Separately, Ukrainian Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskyi said more than 100 rockets had been fired at Ukraine in recent days. At least 18 people have been killed in a rocket attack on a shopping mall in Kremenchuk. The Ukrainian military commented at the weekend on the variety of Russian missiles used, some of which appear to have been stored and do not provide the accuracy claimed by the Russian Ministry of Defense. “The weapons used by Russia are very different. Ukraine has become a kind of testing ground for Russia,” Air Force spokesman Yuri Ihnat said Sunday. Ihnat said the range of weapons includes “Kalibr” naval cruise missiles and missiles such as the KH-22 fired from strategic bombers such as the TU-95 and TU-22M3 – and are capable of speeds of up to 3,000 kilometers per hour. . Ihnat said Russia had previously used TU-22M3 bombers from bases in the Rostov region and in the Black Sea region of southern Russia. “Russia has now moved these planes to the north and, flying in the airspace of Belarus, is launching strikes in the northern part of Ukraine.” He described the KH-22 missile, which Ukrainian officials said was used in the Kremenchuk strike, as “one of the most destructive missiles”. It can carry an explosive payload of 1,000 kg and is transported by the TU-22M3. The KH-22 missiles, he said, had been used in strikes against the Chernihiv and Cherkasy regions. Russia has also used the KH-59 in attacks in Ukraine and short-range ballistic missiles, such as the Soviet-era Tochka-U surface-to-air missile (which also has Ukraine), as well as a series of surface-to-air missiles. Black Sea. Some analysts believe that the growing use of KH-22 missiles stems from the development of shortages of more modern precision missiles. Writing for the Jamestown Foundation on June 16, Pavel Luzin estimated that Russia had launched more than 2,100 cruise missiles and short-range ballistic missiles since the invasion began and “is facing a growing shortage of these.” “Military observers and generals are increasingly questioning how long it will take or even whether Russia will ever be able to fully replenish its depleted missile arsenal,” Luzin said. Luzin estimated that Russia’s current maximum annual production capacity of new cruise and short-range ballistic missiles “is probably not greater than 225”. Ukrainian officials will not disclose the percentage of Russian missiles they fired, although they often succeeded in destroying missiles fired at Kyiv, Odessa and Mykolaiv before hitting their targets. Ihnat said it was “a more realistic goal for our air defenses” to shoot down slower cruise missiles.

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights released a worrying report Wednesday on the human rights situation in Ukraine as part of the ongoing Russian invasion. The United Nations has recorded 10,000 civilian casualties since the conflict began on February 24, “including 4,731 people killed,” Matilda Bogner, head of the Human Rights Watch mission in Ukraine, told reporters in Kyiv as she presented her findings. He warned that the death toll was “significantly higher”, as the report only highlighted evidence that the mission had been able to verify independently. “The Russian Federation’s armed attack on Ukraine has had a devastating impact on human rights throughout the country. We have documented violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, including war crimes. “These violations underscore the heavy price that day-to-day conflict has,” Bogner said. The report is based on information gathered during 11 field visits, three visits to detention facilities and 517 interviews with victims and witnesses between 24 February and 15 May 2022. The data are also based on court documents, official records and open sources. The report documents violations of international human rights and humanitarian law “to varying degrees, by both parties,” according to Bogner.
“The high number of civilian casualties and the extent of the damage and damage to civilian infrastructure raise serious concerns that the attacks carried out by the Russian Armed Forces were not in accordance with international humanitarian law. “Although on a much lower scale, it also appears that the Ukrainian armed forces have not complied with international humanitarian law in the eastern parts of the country.” The report also expressed “serious concerns” about allegations of torture of prisoners of war on both sides of the conflict, including testimonies from 44 prisoners of war interviewed by the UN mission. Bogner stressed that the mission found evidence of widespread use of extrajudicial sanctions against those allegedly looters, thieves and traffic offenders in Ukraine. “The OHCHR has substantiated and verified allegations of unlawful killings, including the brief executions of civilians in more than 30 settlements in the Kiev, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Sumy regions committed while these territories were under Russian control. forces. “In Bucha (Kiev region alone), the OHCHR recorded the illegal killings, including the summary executions of at least 50 civilians,” the report said, adding that the full scale of the problem “has not yet been fully assessed.” The UN document also outlined “concerns about the arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance” of local authorities, journalists, civil society activists and other civilians from Russian troops and affiliated armed groups. The OHCHR recorded 248 cases of arbitrary detention, six of which resulted in death. The OHCHR report contains “reasonable reasons to believe” that both the Russian and Ukrainian armed forces have used weapons equipped with cluster munitions, including the Tochka-U missiles, which resulted in civilian casualties. The use of such weapons in residential areas is contrary to international law. Concluding the report, the OHCHR advised all parties to the conflict to “respect and ensure respect at all times and in all circumstances” for international human rights and humanitarian law. The report also urged Russia to “immediately stop the armed attack” and to comply with its obligations under international law. The Human Rights Watch Mission in Ukraine maintains its presence in Donetsk, Dnipro, Odessa and Uzhhorod.

“He [Putin] has made a big mistake. “It completely underestimated the strength of the Ukrainian armed forces, the courage of the Ukrainian leadership and the Ukrainian people, and it also underestimated the unity of NATO and its partners in providing support to Ukraine,” Stoltenberg told CNN’s A Thursday. Speaking at the NATO summit in Madrid, Stoltenberg said Putin had failed to achieve his goals of weakening the NATO alliance. “One of his main messages at the beginning of this war was that he wanted less NATO. Indeed, he proposed that an agreement be signed to prevent further enlargement of NATO. “What it is getting now is more NATO and two new NATO members, including Finland ρα borders with Russia, doubling NATO’s borders with Russia,” he told Amanpour. “This does not mean that we do not see the seriousness of the difficulties that Ukraine is facing in Donbas,” Stoltenberg said.
Stoltenberg told CNN he ignored Putin’s rhetoric and would “evaluate him for his actions.” “What he is doing in Ukraine is a brutal violation of international law. “It’s a war that has resulted in a lot of civilian casualties, civilian casualties and huge losses,” he told CNN. Achievements at the NATO summit in Madrid are a “victory” for the military alliance, according to Stoltenberg. “It is a victory for NATO that we have once again demonstrated our unity and our ability to change, to adapt when the world changes,” said the NATO leader. “We live in a world where we see brutal use of force against a close NATO neighbor, a close NATO partner in Ukraine, and that is why we have significantly strengthened and will further strengthen our presence in the eastern part of the alliance to “remove any room for miscalculation or misunderstanding in Moscow about our readiness to protect and defend all allies.” “This is a deterrent and the purpose of the deterrent is to prevent conflict. “And that is exactly what NATO has been doing for more than 70 years – to prevent conflict and to keep the peace.”
