while taking advantage of the current political weakness and instability in the West. They may also use this as a license to turn major Ukrainian cities into something resembling Gaza in "retaliation". It's interesting that this attack bears some resemblances to the Hamas attack on the music festival. So they may try to utilize that as part of their new playbook.
