rarer attacks
While Russia regularly bombed Ukrainian cities and infrastructure last winter, massive strikes had become rarer in recent months. This is the first massive missile attack on the Ukrainian capital since early March.
The Russian strikes carried out during the winter targeted in particular the energy infrastructures, regularly causing massive cuts in electricity and running water. These attacks then involved dozens of missiles. This Russian tactic, however, did not bend kyiv.
In Bakhmout, “hold the positions at all costs”
Ukraine’s air defense system has been bolstered in recent months by the delivery of Western equipment, crucial to the country’s war effort. In particular, kyiv received the sophisticated American Patriot systems in April. The Ukrainian capital was the target last week of an attack by 12 Iranian-made drones, eight of which were shot down, without causing any casualties.
Most of the fighting is taking place today in the East for control of the industrial region of Donbass, and in particular in the city of Bakhmout, almost completely destroyed by the clashes. Ukraine says it has been preparing for months a counter-offensive aimed at repelling Russian forces from the territories they currently occupy in the east and south.
