+++ 1 p.m.: According to an analysis by the US think tank Institute for the Study of War, Russia could use Belarusian troops to detain Ukrainian forces near Kyiv. Like the news portal Kyiv Independent reported with reference to the analysis, it is likely that the combined forces of Russia and Belarus will not attack Ukraine from the north. Instead, the Kremlin could try to “deploy additional Russian forces in Belarus to pin down Ukrainian forces near Kyiv and prevent them from engaging in counteroffensives,” it said. The information cannot be independently verified.
+++ 12.30 p.m.: The recent Russian rocket attacks on civilians in Ukraine have been labeled close to war crimes by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. International law prohibits attacks on civilians and on objects that are essential for the survival of the population, stressed the spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner, Ravina Shamdasani, in Geneva.
The location and time of the attacks, when people were on their way to work and taking their children to school, were particularly shocking. The UN High Commissioner urged Russia to refrain from further escalating the conflict and to take all measures to prevent civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure.

Ukraine War News: Russia Uses Syria Strategy – Attacks on Civilian Population
First report from Tuesday, October 11th: Kyiv – Russia has continued to launch large-scale missile attacks on Ukrainian cities. Several regions of Ukraine reported attacks on Tuesday (October 11). In Zaporizhia, among other things, the city center is said to have been hit. The regional administration reported this via the short message service Telegram. The rockets are said to have hit a school, a hospital and several residential buildings.
On Monday, the Russian army fired a total of 83 rockets into Ukraine. 45 of them were shot down by the Ukrainian air defenses. This was reported by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense Kyiv. According to US intelligence, Russia’s intensive missile attacks had been planned for a long time. The offensive is “very likely something that they had been planning for quite some time,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby told the press CNN. The explosion on the Crimean bridge may have accelerated the attack.
Ukraine News: Russia’s missile attacks follow new Moscow strategy
The recent missile attacks also seem to indicate a change in strategy Moscow to interpret in the Ukraine conflict. The attacks are increasingly directed against the infrastructure and the civilian population of Ukraine. Putin’s goal is to provoke panic among the population and to plunge the country into chaos due to supply problems with electricity and water. At least that’s what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video address to his people.
This new approach by Russia is reminiscent of the strategy that Putin had already Syria had used. There, too, the Russian army used large-scale bombardments, which mainly hit the country’s cities.
Ukraine News: Russia’s new general is said to be particularly unscrupulous
Attacks on Russia’s infrastructure and civilian population during the Ukraine war are increasingly reminiscent of the strategy that President Vladimir Putin had already used in his campaign in Syria. The Russian army had also used barrel bombs there. According to weapons experts, the infamous bombs can cause destruction in a radius of up to 250 meters. As early as May of this year, specialists from Syria were said to have been sent to the front in Ukraine to examine the use of barrel bombs there as well.
The fears that Russia is also using a Syria strategy in the Ukraine war are supported by a new personality: Putin recently had General Sergey Surovikin made the new supreme commander of the military operation. Surovikin made a name for himself in the Syrian war and is considered particularly unscrupulous when it comes to bombing civilians. (dil/tvd with dpa/AFP)
