The Ukrainian Army has denounced that Russia has launched the largest missile attack against Ukraine since the Russian invasion began this past dawn. Ukrainian sources say that they have affected many regions of the country, including Zaporizhia and Kharkivand some cities like kyiv, Odessa, Lviv.

Russian troops “fired a record number of ‘S-300’ type missiles at Ukraine last night, including up to 35 in the Zaporizhia (southeast) and Kharkiv (northeast) regions. This was probably a record attack,” the spokesman said. of the Ukrainian Air Force, Yurii Ihnat, according to the Ukrinform agency.

The military representative has stated that the Russians use “these weapons to terrorize” and that Russia throw further and further and “in densely populated cities”.

He added that Ukraine has every right to retaliate and destroy the launchers of these missiles wherever they are located. “Our fighter jets attack these anti-aircraft missile systems with HARM anti-radar missiles every day. But for now this is not sufficient. We need more powerful weapons and a proper response to the enemy who is terrorizing civilians,” Ihnat said.

The attack comes just two weeks before the first year of the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a few hours after the President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, has paid a visit to the United Kingdom and France and has participated yesterday in the European Union Summit in Brussels.
