Ukrainian air defences in the wake of the latest massive Russian attack on Ukraine: One person injured by a roof-bombing, according to Popko
One person was injured, after the roof of a five-story residential building caught fire, according to Popko.
Fighter jets and other aircraft from the Polish and allied forces have been called in to Polish airspace because of the massive Russian attack on nearby Ukranian. The steps were taken to provide safety in the border areas.
According to reports, blasts were heard across Ukraine on Sunday, including in the capital, Kyiv, as well as the country’s west and central regions.
Ukrainian power infrastructure has been damaged by Russian strikes since Moscow’s invasion of its neighbor. The Ukrainians have urged their Western allies to strengthen the country’s air defenses.
The combined attack was the most powerful in three months, according to Serhii Popko, the head of Kyiv’s City Military Administration.
Russia has launched 120 missiles and 90 drones as part of a large-scale assault on Ukraine, according to the President of Ukraie. Various types of drones were deployed, he said, including Iranian-made Shaheds, as well as cruise, ballistic and aircraft-launched ballistic missiles.
The War Between Ukraine and Russia: The U.S. Helped ‘Wetland, but We Were Not Enough’
I don’t want to sound resentful. The U.S. has been very helpful. He said that it has not been enough to win the war. “I’m just thinking how many lives could be saved if those restrictions were lifted a year ago?”
Maksym Sviezhentsev said he hopes that the restrictions on ATACMS won’t be revoked by the Trump administration.
The policy shift happens just two months before Trump returns to the White House. Trump has criticized the amount of aid given to Ukraine in its fight against Russia and claimed he could end the war in 24 hours, though he has not explained how.
Ukrainian forces invaded Russia’s Kursk region in August. The attack was viewed as a turning point for Ukraine and a disappointment for Russia. North Korea sent thousands of soldiers to help Russia fight off the Ukrainian incursion in October.
Zelenskyy said Russian President Vladimir Putin responds to strength, not diplomacy. “We need to be strong. He added that we needed to invest time not talking to someone in Moscow, but actually forcing Russia to end the war.
Zelenskyy said Russia launched more than 200 missiles and drones at Ukraine, which he described as one of the largest attacks in the war so far.
Zelenskyy said in his address on Sunday that the long-range strike capabilities of Ukrainians will be key to its victory. He said that there was a lot of talk in the media about permission for their actions. Strikes are not carried out with words. Such things are not announced. Missiles will speak for themselves.
A source on Capitol Hill who was not authorized to speak publicly said that the decision is unlikely to be a game-changer in the war because it only contains a limited number of missiles.
It’s unclear how many long-range ATACMSUkraine has, but the numbers are limited since some of the weapons were used inside its territory.
British officials will likely follow suit in allowing Ukraine to use their Storm Shadow long-range missiles in Russia, the U.S. official said. These missiles can travel about 155 miles. The missiles contain U.S. components, so the British needed U.S. approval.
The US is allowing the use of arms by Ukrainian troops in the area around the city of Kursk, according to the official.
According to a U.S. official who spoke to NPR on Sunday, President Biden will allow the use of American long-range weapons for strikes inside Russia for the first time.
