The fresh attacks came as the United Nations chief surveyed the destruction in small towns outside Kyiv, which saw some of the worst horrors of the first onslaught of the war. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the atrocities committed in towns like Bucha, where evidence of mass killings of civilians was found after Russia retreated in the face of unexpectedly stiff resistance.
Western officials say the Kremlin’s apparent goal is to take the Donbas by encircling and crushing Ukrainian forces from the north, south and east. Putin, like many of his predecessors, often uses patriotic Russian holidays and anniversaries to make announcements. In March, he used a rally at a Moscow stadium to celebrate the eighth anniversary of Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, taken from Ukraine.
The visit by the Bulgarian leader came a day after Russia cut off the supply of natural gas to his country and fellow NATO member Poland, in what was seen as a bid to punish and divide the West.“It’s not just scary. It’s when your stomach contracts from pain,” said Kharkiv resident Tatiana Pirogova. “When they shoot during the day, it’s still OK, but when the evening comes, I can’t describe how scary it is.
