Tod durch Kälte: Russland versucht, Millionen ukrainischer Zivilisten einzufrieren

The Atlantic Council is a NATO-aligned transatlantic think tank

Lead Paragraph:

Three years ago, when Ukrainians first began calling Russia’s winter bombing campaign a “kholodomor” (literally “death by cold”), some Western observers dismissed this language as excessive. Few would make the same criticism now. In recent months, Russia has unleashed the most extensive winter bombardment of the war, leaving millions of Ukrainians without access to heating and electricity amid arctic weather conditions. The term “kholodomor” now looks like an accurate and objective description of what is clearly a deliberate Russian strategy to cause a humanitarian catastrophe across Ukraine.
