Ukraine withstood on Thursday the fifteenth air raid in the last six months of the military campaign by Russia, which still cannot exercise its military superiority on the ground, days after the anniversary of the start of the conflict.

The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine said that the new shelling did not affect the generation or supply of electricity throughout the country, although Kiev hopes that Russia insist on blowing up your critical infrastructure in the coming weeks.

Aircraft, ships and drones

The Russian army used its full artillery potential to hit targets in the west, north and center of the neighboring country from land, sea and air, killing at least four people.

In this massive mixed attack Russia it used its artillery, the Black Sea Fleet and strategic aviation, whose Kh-22 cruise missiles aboard Tu-22M3 bombers go unnoticed by Ukrainian air defense.

“Another Russian missile attack. UAVs and rockets were launched at night. Unfortunately, there are hits in the north and west of Ukraineas well as in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kirovograd regions,” Andriy Yermak, head of the presidential administration of Ukraine, wrote in his Telegram account.

They also, with varying degrees of success, hit targets in the Lvov regions bordering Poland, Kharkov in the east, Nikolaev and Kherson in the south.

This was reported by the press secretary of the Southern Command of the Armed Forces. UkraineNatalya Gumenyuk stressed that eight Caliber cruise missiles fired from a frigate in the Black Sea were shot down.

“Unfortunately, part of the X-22 cruise missiles still hit their targets, hitting critical infrastructure. There are currently no weapons capable of destroying this type of missile,” he admitted.

shelling in sight

Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council UkraineAlexey Danilov, reported that Russia plans a massive offensive for February 24, which will be one year since the beginning of the Russian military intervention.

“We are ready for this. I think we already understand what kind of attack it is, having received 115-120 missiles in one day. We can handle it too,” he said.

In turn, Yermak emphasized that Russia Changed tactics slightly, as he conducts active reconnaissance and “uses decoys” to mislead enemy batteries.

Ukraine He also does not sit idle. The governor of the city of Sevastopol, the main port on the Ukrainian-annexed Crimean peninsula, on Thursday condemned another Ukrainian drone strike.

Putin will deliver his first address to the nation in almost two years next week, so the Russian army can periodically attack these days to boost the weakened morale of the Russian troops.

According to Ukrainian military intelligence, Putin has been demanding concrete results from his generals on the ground as Russian units have been conducting “desperate” raids into the Donbas since late March in an attempt to seize control of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

The idea is to “prove at least something in a year of this shameful war,” said Andrey Yusov, a military intelligence spokesman.

hands are bleeding

Just as yesterday NATO acknowledged the need to supply more missiles to Kyiv, which is running out of ammunition, the West today also drew attention to the losses from Russia.

According to the British Ministry of Defense, the Russian army has lost about 130 aircraft over the past twelve months, although it still has about 1,500 aircraft on its account.

Meanwhile, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace assured that Russia she had already lost two-thirds of her tanks, either because they were destroyed or disabled.

According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Moscow left 50% of its T-72B and T-72B3M tanks on the battlefield, to which a large number of T-80s need to be added.

The powerful Russian military industry is unable to fulfill defense orders, including due to Western sanctions.

However, the deputy head of the Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, assured that the construction and modernization of up to a thousand tanks “is on the agenda.”
