Oleksiy Arestovich, adviser to the presidential office, commented on why Russia is massively shelling the territories of Ukraine.

According to the politician, the aggressor country is doing this to force Kyiv to agree to negotiations on favorable terms for the Russian Federation. For this, Russia is shelling civilians and critical infrastructure of Ukraine..

" They hit from strategic bombers and cruise missiles on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine. All this from his point of view, as the creation of more favorable negotiating conditions. The suffering of the civilian population should force our government and the international community, as it seems to him, to make concessions," The politician noted that Russia will not achieve its goal, but will be responsible for it. The reaction of the West to the terror of Ukraine will definitely be. According to Arestovich, new sanctions will be imposed against the Russian Federation, and even more weapons will be supplied to Ukrainians.

" We do not know the reaction of the West with you, but it is guaranteed to be. And what will it be? Expanding the range and supply of weapons, strengthening sanctions.

Most likely it will be both.. I think that such actions will force the world to reconsider its attitude towards the Putin regime: both towards those who are trying to negotiate with him, and help for Ukraine,"

Recall that this morning Russia massively shelled Ukraine. Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny named the number of missiles fired by the Russian Federation, and also told how many of them were shot down by air defense.
