Russia engaging in 'brinkmanship' ahead of peace talks, 'resumed bombing Ukraine's energy systems'

Carys Garland is pleased to welcome the Director of the Eurasia Democracy Initiative, Peter Zalmayev. Russia carried out a major attack on Ukraine overnight a day before representatives of the two countries were due to attend US-brokered talks on ending the 4-year war of attrition. The latest bombardment targeted five regions of Ukraine that specifically took aim at the power grid in Moscow’s ongoing campaign to deny civilians light, heating and running water during the coldest winter in years.
