"Massive Attack" on Ukraine
Ukraine's Vice Prime Minister Oleksiy Kuleba reports that Russia has carried out massive attacks on civilian and critical infrastructure across several regions of Ukraine.
Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Oleksiy Kuleba has reported via Telegram that Russia launched massive attacks targeting both civilian sites and vital infrastructure across various regions of Ukraine during the night leading to Tuesday. This marks a significant escalation in military actions, particularly in the wake of previous tensions and conflicts between Russia and Ukraine.
In the Odesa region, Kuleba mentioned that both heating and water supply services have been partially disrupted due to power outages resulting from these assaults. Such disruptions in critical utility services are particularly alarming as they come during a time of year when the population relies heavily on stable heating and water supplies. The overall impact on the civilian population is significant, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis stemming from the conflict.
Russian news agency Ifax has corroborated the reports, confirming that large-scale attacks targeted Ukrainian military and energy facilities. This intensification of attacks not only impacts military operations but also increases the potential for civilian casualties and further instability in an already volatile region. The implications of these strikes could escalate international responses and discussions surrounding military aid and humanitarian support for Ukraine.
