> Russia is trying to spread panic in Zaporizhzhia, a city in southeastern Ukraine, through what the report calls “safari” strikes on civilians. Last month, two Russian bombs hit Kateryna Lahuta’s seafood business. The attack shattered the last sense of security for the 41-year-old entrepreneur. Her experience is presented as an example of how the strikes have affected civilians in the city.
