Washington continues to talk about the “danger of escalation”.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that during yesterday's massive shelling of the Ukrainian energy sector, Russian troops used missiles with cluster warheads for the first time.

The use of such munitions is not only intended to cause maximum damage to the object under attack. The problem is also in the submunitions scattered around. In order for rescuers and energy workers to begin their work, the territory must be thoroughly surveyed by sappers and defuse unexploded elements, of which there may be a lot.

The Russian Federation is improving its terrorist tactics aimed at the civilian population. And it is not receiving a worthy response from Ukraine's strategic allies.

Today, Politico writes that Kyiv plans to hand over to the administration of US President Joe Biden a list of targets deep in Russian territory. This should help convince the US to lift restrictions on the use of American weapons on Russian territory, in particular, ATACMS missiles. The problem is that this is not the first such list. And not the first attempt to convince the Americans to lift restrictions.

But, as the publication writes, Washington continues to discuss the danger of escalation and the “minor tactical advantages” of such a decision. Criminal delay.
