From WSJopinion: Russian bombing of Ukrainian cities seems intended to spread terror across the civilian population and break the country’s will to resist. It will have the opposite effect.
Collapsed section of a bridge linking Crimea to mainland Russia in Kerch, Russia, Oct. 8.Russia’s missile assault on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities on Monday is a reminder that the Kremlin retains a considerable capacity to wreak havoc. The best response is to provide Ukraine with more weapons, including better air defenses.
Mr. Putin blamed Ukraine for the Kerch bridge attack, which blew up the main lifeline to supply Crimea, which Russia invaded and annexed from Ukraine in 2014. He called the bridge attack a “terrorist” act, which is what his entire Ukraine campaign has been. More likely, the Russian targeting is indiscriminate and intended to spread terror across the civilian population and break the country’s will to resist. Previous attacks have had the opposite effect, and Monday’s will probably have the same.
