The command of the Russian troops is trying to increase the pace of the offensive operation in the east of Ukraine in order to reach the administrative borders of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
The occupying forces of the Russian Federation yesterday launched about fifty airstrikes on targets in Ukraine, including guided missiles.
This was announced by the speaker of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Oleksandr Motuzyanyk at a briefing in Kyiv.
The speaker noted that the enemy involved operational-tactical and strategic aviation in delivering air strikes on targets in Kharkov, Donetsk, Kirovograd, Odessa, Lvov and Transcarpathian regions.
“Almost fifty air strikes were carried out, including with the use of guided air missiles. Russian Tu-160 strategic bombers made 18 launches of air-launched cruise missiles from the airspace above the Caspian Sea at facilities in Ukraine in order to damage the transport infrastructure of our state,” Motuzyanyk said.
According to the Ministry of Defense, the command of the Russian troops is trying to increase the pace of the offensive operation in the east of Ukraine in order to reach the administrative borders of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, as well as to develop an offensive in certain areas in the Zaporozhye and Krivoy Rog directions.
“To this end, the enemy is regrouping and strengthening his troops, building up the system of fire damage and logistics,” Motuzyanyk stressed.
