We are entering the third week of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Diplomatic channels continue without finding a solution to the war while thousands of Ukrainians have already fled the country. Only in the last day 40,000 people have left Ukraine through humanitarian corridors. An exodus that is testing the capacity of assistance at the border.
Meanwhile, the war continues. The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, denounces that Russia has not stopped the attacks in Mariupol and Volnovakha.
Without going any further, two Ukrainian cities have suffered new bombardments this morning. Russian troops have bombed Dnipro, the fourth most populous city in Ukraine with about one million inhabitants. The attacks have killed at least one person, according to the Ukrainian State Emergency Service. The agency has reported that some attacks occurred near a kindergarten and a residential building.
While, Igor Polischuk, the mayor of Lutsk (a city of 200,000 inhabitants near the border with Poland) has also reported having suffered bombings in recent hours: “Explosions near the airfield. Everyone to shelter!”said the councilor through Facebook, who has asked the neighbors not to publish photos or addresses.
For its part, the Russian Army has acknowledged having launched two “high-precision attacks” this Friday at two military airports located in Lutsk and Ivano-Frankivsk (very close to the previous one), according to Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense Russian and collect several Russian agencies.
This is the first time these two cities have been attacked since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began sixteen days ago.
