Russian attacks on April 7-13: Kyiv on fire - documented by Pavlo Petrov
З 7 по 13 квітня 2025 року Росія здійснила низку ударів по мирних містах України, вчергове доводячи, що її головною ціллю залишається цивільне населення. Попри тимчасове зниження інтенсивності обстрілів у березні, цього тижня РФ повернулася до типових для себе терористичних атак з використанням дронів-камікадзе, авіабомб і балістичних ракет. Найбільш резонансною стала атака на Суми 13 квітня — під час Вербної неділі загинула 21 людина.

Щодня Росія вчиняє воєнні злочини в Україні й традиційно відкидає всі звинувачення, намагаючись уникнути відповідальності. Для цього в Росії працює ціла пропагандистська система. Вона намагається спотворити правду про цю жорстоку війну, про криваві удари по цивільних та поширює кремлівські наративи у світі.
