'Russian Leadership Has Gone Crazy Over War'

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has warned that Russian President Putin may become more unpredictable if military efforts fail, according to Ukrainian outlets. Coverage highlights recent escalations, including ballistic missile strikes on Kyiv and attacks on critical infrastructure across four regions. Zelenskyy also emphasized the importance of air superiority in determining the war’s outcome, framing the conflict as entering a new phase.

Ukrainian state media and international outlets like the *Financial Times* and *The New York Times* are amplifying Zelenskyy’s statements, framing them as a shift in strategy or perception. The tone in Western coverage leans toward analysis of the war’s trajectory rather than immediate tactical developments. Watch for further statements from Zelenskyy or Russian officials on military strategy, as well as potential responses from NATO or Western allies.

Coverage may also focus on the humanitarian impact of infrastructure attacks and whether they signal a broader shift in Russian tactics.
