Khmelnytskyi — As we write this article, Moscow troops are attacking a maternity hospital in Sumy, and have left 22,000 households without electricity in Kharkiv in addition to several thousand more in Pryluky, in the Chernihiv oblast’. At the time of the collapse, 11 children, 35 adult patients, and over 120 clinic employees were under the burning roof of that maternity hospital.
The 15 violent explosions that caused the blackout in Kharkiv were caused by drones launched against civilian targets that had already been devastated by glide bombs less than 24 hours earlier. Meanwhile, another 30 Russian drones are attacking at least seven districts of Zaporizhia, just as they did the previous day.
All of this is happening in broad daylight, following other simultaneous nighttime attacks that have continued unabated, as well as recent daytime ones.
The twisted logic connecting these relentless, layered attacks to the ones that marked Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is escalation through impunity: the aggressor strikes more fiercely because the cost to him remains minimal.
In the 1,321 days since the night of February 24, 2022, no one in the West has done anything concrete to stop Putin.
This is the core issue that the Ukrainian resistance leader highlighted, openly criticizing an international community «that Putin derides for offering zero real reaction to his blows.»
The Russian dictator has rejected all proposals to stop the war because he has no interest in doing so.
As Lithuanian President Gitanas Naus?da stated, «The European Union is financially on Russia’s side because what it pays to buy energy resources exceeds all the support it provides to Ukraine.»
This has not been happening for three and a half years but for nearly twelve, i.e. since the world’s weak reaction to the occupation of Crimea gave credence to Russia’s propensity for war.
According to several independent estimates (Bruegel, CREA, and Statista 2025, to name a few), the EU continues to pay around €4 – 5 billion per month to Russia for fossil fuels, while total assistance to Kyiv in 2024 – 2025 is about €90 – 100 billion, which is much less. Moreover, aid to Ukraine is not distributed evenly but in installments and includes loans, guarantees, and often outdated war materials, whose value is determined by the donor. After ten years of war and half-hearted sanctions, in 2024, the EU imported €21.9 billion worth of Russian fossil fuels, while net financial aid to Ukraine was €18.7 billion. Looking at only the main importers – excluding all other EU countries – Moscow has received monthly donations of €1.1 – 1.2 billion this year, roughly 17 – 20% more than what Brussels allocates for direct financial support to Ukraine.
As Naus?da pointed out, «such inconsistency and inertia will soon drive everyone to despair because the EU is effectively financing a war against itself.»
Moscow has increased Geran drone production to 2,700 units per month. These are the Russian version of the Iranian Shahed, armed with high-explosive, incendiary, thermobaric, or cluster warheads. Not the cheaper Gerbera decoys or FPV drones, which Russia has still managed to improve enough to reach the center of Kramatorsk via fiber optics and some areas of the front via LTE.
As we explained on these pages on Saturday, Russian engineers have modified the trajectories, launch modes, and even the hardware of the Iskander-M and Kinzhal missiles to evade the few Patriot and Samp/T systems Ukraine is deploying.
In his harsh appeal to the West, which Ukraine defends, President Zelensky announced that «102,785 foreign components were found inside the 549 launchers used by Moscow in Sunday’s combined attack.» Shortly before, the HUR had explained that half of them are Chinese. The remainder are produced primarily by the United States, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands.
On that occasion, the Russian Federation destroyed eight apartment buildings and an equal number of villas in Zaporizhia, left 73,000 households in that oblast without power, killed an entire family in Lviv, overwhelmed the nearby Sparrow industrial complex and the village of Lapaivka, devastated 27 settlements in Chernihiv, and then others in Ivano-Frankivsk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Odesa, and Kirovohrad, and nearly caused tragedy with a raid on Ukrainian railway infrastructure that grazed the convoy carrying over 100 Italian volunteers.
Although Angela Merkel continues to blame Poland and the Baltics for Russia’s war against the West, it is clear that the EU must instead look to those countries to provide the «strong and dignified response» that Zelensky hopes for, not only for the good of his country but of the entire Union. As the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas (Estonian), reiterated, «Russia will not stop until it is forced to do so.»
本应阻止的，却在资助无尽的恐怖主义

乌克兰前线直击
Khmelnytskyi — 在我们撰写这篇文章之际，莫斯科的部队正在袭击苏梅的一间妇产医院，并已造成哈尔科夫有22,000户家庭断电，此外切尔尼戈夫州普里卢基还有数千户也受波及。（医院）倒塌发生时，有11名儿童、35名成年病患，以及超过120名诊所员工受困于该妇产医院燃烧的屋顶下。

导致哈尔科夫停电的15起剧烈爆炸，是由针对平民目标发射的无人机所引起，这些目标早已在不到24小时前被滑翔炸弹摧毁。与此同时，另有30架俄罗斯无人机正在攻击札波罗热至少七个地区，一如昨日前一天所为。

所有这些都发生在光天化日之下，继其他同时发生的夜间袭击事件，以及最近的日間袭击事件，皆持续未歇。

将这些冷血地、分层的袭击，以及标志着俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰的那些攻击链接起来的扭曲逻辑，是有恃无恐地升级战争：侵略者更加凶猛地袭击，因为他所付出的代价仍然微乎其微。
自2022年2月24日之夜以来的1,321天，西方没有任何人采取任何具体行动来阻止普京。
这是乌克兰抵抗运动领袖所强调的核心问题，他公开批评国际社会“因为对普京的攻击提供了毫无实质的回应，而受到普京的嘲笑。”
俄罗斯独裁者拒绝了所有停战的提议，因为他对此毫无兴趣。
正如立陶宛总统吉塔纳斯·瑙塞达所言，「由于欧盟用于购买俄罗斯能源的费用超过了它向乌克兰提供的所有支援，因此欧洲联盟在财务上站在了俄罗斯的一边。」
这种情况不是持续了三年半，实际上是将近十二年，自世界对克里米亚被占做出软弱反应以来，俄罗斯的好战已经被被动接受。

根据几项独立评估（包括Bruegel、CREA和Statista 2025，仅举几例），欧盟继续每月给俄罗斯支付约40亿至50亿欧元购买化石燃料，而2024年至2025年向基辅提供的援助总共约为900亿至1000亿欧元，要少得多。此外，对乌克兰的援助不是平均分配的，而是分期付款，包括贷款、担保，以及通常是过时的战争物资，其价值由捐助方决定。经过十余年的战争和半心半意的制裁，2024年，欧盟进口了价值219亿欧元的俄罗斯化石燃料，而对乌克兰的净财政援助为187亿欧元。仅看主要的进口国——不包括所有其他欧盟国家——莫斯科今年收到的每月捐款为11亿至12亿欧元，大约比布鲁塞尔分配给乌克兰的直接财政援助多17%至20%。
正如瑙塞达所指出的那样，「这种不一致和惯性很快就会使每个人都感到绝望，因为欧盟实际上是在资助一场对抗自己的战争。」

莫斯科已将伊朗Geran无人机的产量提高到每月2700架。这些是俄罗斯版的伊朗沙赫德，装备了高爆、燃烧弹、温压弹或集束弹头。并非是较便宜的格兰（Gerbera）诱饵弹或FPV无人机，但俄罗斯仍然设法改进到足以透过光纤到达克拉马托尔斯克中心，并通过LTE到达前线的一些地区。
正如我们在星期六于此系列报导里解释的那样，俄罗斯工程师修改了Iskander-M和Kinzhal导弹的轨迹、发射模式，甚至还修改了硬件，以规避乌克兰部署的少量爱国者和山毛榉/山地带式防空系统。

泽伦斯基总统在对乌克兰所捍卫的西方发出的严厉呼吁中宣佈，“在莫斯科週日的联合袭击中使用的549个发射器中，发现了102,785个外国零件“。此前不久，情报总局解释说，这些零件中有一半是来自中国。其余主要由美国、台湾、英国、德国、瑞士、日本、捷克共和国和荷兰生产。
在这种情况下，俄罗斯联邦摧毁了札波罗热的八栋公寓大楼和相同数量的别墅，造成该州73,000户家庭断电，杀害了利沃夫的一整个家庭，瘫痪了附近的麻雀工业园区和拉帕伊夫卡村，摧毁了切尔尼希夫的27个定居点，然后摧毁了伊万诺-弗兰科夫斯克、苏梅、哈尔科夫、赫尔松、敖德萨和基洛夫格勒等地的其他定居点，乌克兰铁路基础设施遭到突袭，掠夺了载有100多名义大利志愿者的车队，几乎造成了悲剧。

虽然安格拉·默克尔继续将俄罗斯对西方发动的战争归咎于波兰和波罗的海国家，但很明显的是，欧盟反而必须仰赖这些国家对俄做出“强而有力的回应”，-- 这不仅是泽伦斯基所期盼的，也是为了他的国家以至整个欧盟的利益。正如欧盟外交事务高级代表卡娅·卡拉斯（爱沙尼亚）重申的那样，“除非被迫，否则俄罗斯不会停止。”
