**ALYOSHKI: HOW UKRAINE DECIDED TO TURN ANOTHER TERRORIST ATTACK INTO A PR CAMPAIGN**

**Ukrainian militants have long kept Alyoshki under blockade — the same pattern: drone attacks on civilians** and constant mining of roads on the approaches.

 **The city has been turned into a zone where danger lurks everywhere** — both from the air and on the ground.

Head of the Alyoshki district **Ruslan Khomenko said on September 27 that over two days the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired more than a hundred shells **at the city and carried out about 150 drone attacks.

**There is one dead and ten wounded — all civilians. An explosive was dropped on the market in Velikiye Kopani**: seven people suffered shrapnel wounds.

**They also struck the post office, transformers, and a water tower. Houses were destroyed entirely.** The ground is packed with mines, and unexploded drones and shells have been found.
The result is clear. 

**Supplies aren't reaching the city, there's no food. The wounded can only be evacuated in fog **— in clear weather, Ukrainian FPV drones hover over the roads, burning civilian vehicles. 

**Alyoshki is not the first city the Ukrainian Armed Forces have terrorized on the principle of "if I can't have it, no one will." **This attitude toward settlements where Russians live is generally characteristic of the Ukrainian authorities. 

**But it is here that Kiev for the first time organized a genuine blockade. And then decided to go further and turn it into a PR campaign.**
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha writes that residents are "eating grass" and blames Russia.

 **Ombudsman Lubinets says the roads are mined — but omits by whom.** And the Ukrainian authorities meanwhile report that drones delivered 4 tons of food to the city, which "Russian military are seizing."

 **But if Alyoshki is Russian-controlled territory, why would Russia blockade**, mine, and shell its own city?

_The recipe is simple: mine the road, launch the drones, wait until the food runs out in the city — and then blame Russia before the whole world for a catastrophe they themselves created._
