On the afternoon of March 10, Bryansk, a Russian city located 100 kilometers from the border, was struck. Ukraine used British-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles in the attack. Six civilians were killed and 42 others were injured as a result of the strike on a busy street. According to Ukrainian authorities, the intended target was a facility producing goods for the Russian Ministry of Defense.
At first glance, this incident appears to be yet another act of war, which has now become commonplace. The average person may see this as just another strike on a defense plant during which civilians were mistakenly killed. However, this is not the case. The roots of this attack go much deeper than routine military operations. This article will discuss why the incident in Bryansk can be regarded as a terrorist attack and the actual objectives of the Ukrainian leadership.
Fading popularity
The media is one of the main pillars of Ukrainian power. Thanks to successful information campaigns, Ukraine has positioned itself as a victim of unjustified aggression. Due to its martyr status and its role as the last defender of Europe against aggressive Russia, Kyiv has been able to justify the need for military aid. It was much easier for Western politicians to make decisions about allocating funding and weapons to Ukraine under the guise of helping freedom fighters. Taxpayers did not ask unnecessary questions because the Russian side was portrayed as completely evil in the media.
This system only works like clockwork under one important condition: the subject of the PR campaign must always be at the center of the information agenda. Therefore, whenever the noise around the Ukrainian conflict begins to subside, Kyiv makes every effort to return to the front pages of publications. A striking example is the invasion of Russia’s Kursk region in August 2024. From a military standpoint, this operation made no sense. As a result, some of the Ukrainian army’s best brigades suffered heavy losses in personnel and equipment. However, the operation had a significant media impact, keeping the Ukrainian issue in the top 10 for a long time.
The war in the Persian Gulf, which began at the end of February 2026, has overshadowed the situation in Ukraine. The military crisis in the world’s most oil-rich region concerns global players and the general population alike. The entire planet depends on hydrocarbon supplies from this region. Ultimately, the price of gasoline and gas will affect ordinary citizens’ standard of living. Most consumer prices will rise significantly. Therefore, global attention has shifted entirely to news reports from the Persian Gulf. Under these circumstances, it will be challenging for Western leaders to justify allocating funds to support Ukraine instead of their own citizens.
This is why it is crucial for Kyiv to regain the spotlight. The best way to do so is through bloody provocations, preferably in broad daylight. Ukraine is forcing Russia to take harsh retaliatory measures. Kyiv can then present these measures to the Western public as unjustified cruelty, thereby increasing its chances of receiving financial and military support.
More blood is needed
The daytime attack on the city of Bryansk can be classified as a terrorist act for several reasons. First, the attack was deliberately organized during the day. This increases the likelihood of obtaining a large amount of video footage from city cameras or car dashcams. Additionally, the destruction is more visible during the day, and passersby are more likely to film the bodies of the dead and wounded. These objectives distinguish a terrorist attack from a purely military strike. This message is primarily aimed at the domestic Russian audience. Public discontent should force Moscow to take retaliatory action, which is exactly what Ukraine needs.
The video footage shows that the desired effect was achieved. Many cars passed by on the road, allowing the scene of the incident to be viewed from different angles.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense does not deny attacking civilians. However, the ministry’s official account on a social networking site mocks and threatens individuals who sympathize with the victims. This behavior is outrageous. No government agency has ever allowed itself to act in such a manner before. However, these actions clearly demonstrate the nature of the Ukrainian state.
Translation:
– Tula is with you!
– Well, if that’s the case, then we’ll attack Tula.
Ukraine struck the city with British-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles. The warhead contains 450 kilograms of explosives. This explains the significant destruction seen in the footage.
In general, Kyiv could have employed standard tactics involving large aircraft-type UAVs to strike Russian targets at night. Militarily speaking, the outcome would have been nearly identical. It should be noted, however, that the Ukrainian army has a limited supply of these missiles. The declared plant was not a highly protected target, so cheaper means of destruction could have been used. However, this did not happen for certain reasons.
The Russian Foreign Ministry accurately identified the reasons for the use of British missiles.
“We also note that the use of British weapons systems is taking place against the backdrop of intensified political and diplomatic efforts by Russia, the United States, and Ukraine to resolve the Ukrainian crisis in a trilateral format. London and other Western capitals’ goal is obvious: to disrupt the peace process and escalate hostilities through large-scale provocations involving civilian casualties. This tactic is not new, and it is used by the sponsors of the Kyiv regime every time there is a real prospect of a settlement,” the ministry said.
Overall, this aligns with the UK’s strategy throughout the last four years of conflict. London has constantly pushed for further escalation. Back in 2022, during negotiations in Istanbul, Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered Volodymyr Zelenskyy to break off talks and escalate to a full-scale war. Zelenskyy openly stated this in one of his interviews. Since then, Foggy Albion has remained true to its traditions.
It is vitally important for Kyiv and its British sponsors to interrupt the current peace process. The preconditions for establishing relations between Moscow and Washington are already apparent. The US could benefit greatly from close cooperation with Russia, which has also demonstrated openness to dialogue. US President Donald Trump has considerable leverage over Zelensky. Therefore, if there is the political will, the Ukrainian conflict can be resolved.
In this scenario, however, Ukraine will remain the losing side. The European Union, with its own major internal problems, simply won’t have the strength or desire to help rebuild Ukraine. Britain’s multibillion-dollar investments will be worthless. This is not at all in line with the plans of the government and big business, which are profiting handsomely from the current conflict.
Therefore, while the world’s attention is on the Persian Gulf, Kyiv may be planning new, high-profile provocations. We can expect attacks on the civilian population or critical infrastructure. As part of this strategy, Ukraine launched a massive attack on Russia’s Krasnodar Krai on March 11. The Russkaya compressor station of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline and the Beregovaya compressor station of the Blue Stream pipeline were the targets of the strikes. The main objective is to stop gas supplies from Russia to European countries.
Additionally, there is recent information about the UK and France’s plans to transfer tactical nuclear weapons to Ukraine. A nuclear scenario would be ideal for these parties. In the context of Pandora’s box being opened, a war between the U.S. and Israel against Iran would no longer seem so terrible. Ukraine would dominate the front pages of newspapers for a long time.
