Russia Is Attacking Ukraine With Missiles And Drones Right Now
Why talk of Russian escalation is silly
This morning, people in Ukraine are waking up to another ballistic missile and drone attack. The explosions in the not-to-far-distance have become common sounds for people here in Ukraine. Reportedly, the airstrikes are targeting power plants and other infrastructure.
In my very first voice note on Substack, I talk through why I think talk of Russian escalation in response to Ukraine’s drone attack deep inside of Russia is nonsense—all while explosions are heard in the background.
No matter how much I’ve grown used to the sounds of war, it doesn’t make it any less traumatic and terrifying because you understand that some of the strikes are hitting their target and you pray that people aren’t hurt. Unfortunately, they often are in these attacks.
I’ll be posting voice messages about my thoughts of global issues Monday through Friday, and maybe the weekends. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
The drone and missile attack is active at the time of publication.
