DW News published this video item, entitled “Attacks on civilians and infrastructure: Has Russia become a ‘terrorist state’? | To the Point” – below is their description.
Massacres, torture and kidnappings: the list of alleged war crimes committed by Russia is growing.
Moscow’s military is relentlessly bombarding civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. Power is often out, people are freezing in their homes and shelters, hospitals are destroyed, doctors working to exhaustion.
War crimes – or just the regrettable side effects of war? Meanwhile artillery barrages continue with undiminished force in the eastern Donbass province.
We ask: Has Russia become a “terrorist state”?
Our guests: Wolfgang Richter (military expert), Natalia Smolentceva (DW), Jessica Berlin (political analyst)
