Russian attacks on the crooked horn. The number of fatalities is growing
According to social media users, the Russian ballistic missile hit a restaurant in a residential district. According to AFP, there was a playground next to it. The head of the government center of counteracting disinformation Andrij Kałenko said that the Russians most likely used the Iskander rocket.

Russia has attacked Ukraine again, the number of wounded and killed is growing. “Russians simulate peace conversations”
– This attack is very clearly part of the Russian strategy. Nothing has changed over the past days. On the one hand, the Russians simulate conversations because they are afraid to refuse Trump, while they deceive him, trying to use this time as much as possible on the front line – says Dr. Witold Sokała, a specialist in international relations from the Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce.
The political scientist is of the opinion that “Russia seems to think that time is working in its favor.”
– says Sokała.
The scientist also explains what this fascination is:
– This is based on extreme right -wing, xenophobic narratives, disregarding both internal and international law. This is the cult of naked strength and brutality. I think this is also an element of the Russian calculation, the Kremlin tries to use it. Hence the deception during peace conversations, hence the consistent attacks on Ukraine in the hope that they will not be punished by the United States – he concludes.
Vladimir Putin cheats Donald Trump? Expert: The US administration is manipulated
In the opinion of our interlocutor, everyone in the world reads Russian tactics except for the US administration.
– If they have not realized so far, in my opinion it is not a matter of lack of proper data or even a lack of intellectual abilities, but a bad will on the part of Trump's administration. She just doesn't want to punish Russia for some reason – he believes.
– notes the political scientist.
The expert also refers to those advisers of Donald Trump who read the strategy of the Russians well.
– this part of the American administration, which is better in an international situation, He probably is aware of this, but either silent for opportunistic reasons not to get a boss, or cynically assumes that Russia will not threaten the United States directlybut in the first place to European countries, which will force them to larger arms expenses, including shopping for armament from the US – he claims.

Vladimir Putin cheats Donald Trump? Political scientist: This is the main secret of why the Americans behave so gently
The political scientist is also of the opinion that the Russians perfectly crossed the American administration in psychological terms and also use it in bilateral conversations.
– he assesses.
However, a specialist in international relations from the Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce reserves that “this factor should not be overestimated.” He also reveals what the “main secret is why Americans behave so gently towards Moscow.”
– That would not be enough. In addition to this manipulation, there must also have a calculation of interests on the side of the White House. In my opinion, it is most likely a plan to use Russia and drag it to your side. Even if it is not completely turning her against China, because probably even Americans know that it is unreal in today's conditions – he says in an interview with Onet.
Vladimir Putin
– In any case, they see the possibility of doing business with the Russians in order to increase their competitive advantages a bit in relation to other Western countries, which is largely naive. But this is the main secret of why Americans behave so gently towards Moscow – he believes.
Russia will attack Poland? Expert: We are already a target of hostile attacks
Asked whether in the context of the escalation of Russian attacks and ongoing peace negotiations, it is possible for Russia to attack Poland, the political scientist believes that “another Russian attack on one of the countries of the Eastern Flanka NATO in a military sense is only possible when there is a suspension of weapons in Ukraine.”
– Then Russia will have a problem that we have hardly talked about so far. She must have this speeding war machine and a lot of people mobilized for weapons to somehow develop. It will be very hard to go to a purely room mode of functioning day by day. Putin can do something that is sometimes called “surfing on the wave of subsequent crises,” he notes.
Onet's interlocutor reserves, however, that Poles must be aware that “the goal of enemy Russian actions we are already”.
– diagnoses the expert.
