The Russian army begins to approach the border with NATO. On the 16th day of their invasion of Ukraine, they attacked the city of Lutsk, a city of some 200,000 inhabitants near the border with Poland.
According to the mayor, they have suffered bombardments throughout the day. “Explosions near the airfield. Everyone to shelter!”, He has alerted through his Facebook account.
For its part, the Russian Army has acknowledged having launched this Friday two “high-precision strikes” on two military airports located in Lutsk and Ivano-Frankivsk (very close to the previous one), according to Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry.
Hours after these attacks, the president of the United States has reiterated the defense of NATO territory. “I want to be clear: We will defend every inch of NATO territory with the full might of a united NATO, but we will not wage war against Russia in Ukraine,” she wrote in a social media post.
In the same message he warned that “a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia is World War III“, something that, he says, “must be prevented”.
