13:11 Guardian correspondent: ‘There will be more mass executions as in Bucha, Russians use the same tactics everywhere.”
The British Guardian’s correspondent, Isobel Koshiu, estimates that there will be more difficult conflicts in Ukraine. Writing from Kyiv, she says that from the photos from the attacked city of Bucha in the Kyiv area, it can be concluded that the Russians use almost the same tactics in all the places they occupy.
“The pattern or tactics are almost the same, and parts of those tactics were used in Syria as well. First, they destroy civilian infrastructure. It prevents the supply of gas, water, and electricity. Even if people find a way to charge their mobile phones, Ukrainians suspect that the Russians are using devices to jam and block signals, in addition to destroying repeaters and antennas for mobile networks. “According to what I heard, they attacked the infrastructure of the Kyiv operator Kyivstar in Mariupol,” she added.
