At least 18 people died as a result of a Russian air attack perpetrated this Thursday against a military unit located in the Odessa region, on the shores of the Black Sea, after the beginning of the military operation ordered by the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, against Ukraine.
As a result of the attack, 8 men and 10 women died, reported the State Emergency Service.
One of the fatalities was found alive in the rubble of the military installation, but later died in hospital.
Previously, the Ukrainian Presidency reported the deaths of more than 40 soldiers during the attacks carried out by the Russian Army against airfields and military bases on the territory of this country.
Most of the casualties occurred during this morning’s aerial bombardment, according to presidential adviser Alexei Arestovich.
Arestovich, who underlined that, despite everything, Russia has not managed to undermine the defensive potential of the Armed Forces, addressed the Ukrainians to give blood for soldiers fighting on the front lines.
The Ukrainian Army denounced that Russia not only attacked military infrastructure, but also hammered towns, where there would have been deaths among civilians.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyannounced today the rupture of diplomatic relations with Russia after the aggression ordered by the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin.
In addition, he assured that the Government is already distributing weapons “among all those who want it” to defend the national territory from the Russian invader.
“The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine ordered to inflict the greatest possible losses on the invader,” The Army reported in a statement.
