Russia accused of civilian bombing campaign and escalating assaults in Ukraine

In Ukraine, Russia is escalating its assault on the city of Lysychansk in an attempt to seize the last stronghold of resistance in the eastern Luhansk province. It has become the new focus of fighting after its twin city Sievierodonetsk was reduced to rubble last week. Russia continues to deny that it’s targeting civilians while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the Kremlin’s war strategy “deliberately targeted Russian terror.” David Akin explains.
