Russian Attacks on Kyiv Signal More Dangerous Phase, Political Scientist Says

Russia’s latest attacks on Kyiv point to a more dangerous phase in the conflict, according to political science professor Dr. Ammar Qanah.

Qanah described the strikes as part of a continuing escalation between Moscow and Kyiv, rather than isolated military action.

In his assessment, the current escalation began with an intensification of Ukrainian drone attacks, followed by the latest Russian strikes on the Ukrainian capital.

His remarks placed the attacks within a broader pattern of worsening confrontation, warning that the exchanges were moving in a more dangerous direction.
