Today, Wednesday, a Black Sea Fleet frigate launched an attack with 4 “class” missiles.caliber“Winging over the Ukrainian military infrastructure.
The Russian “TASS” agency quoted the Russian Ministry of Defense as saying that the crew of a frigate from the Black Sea Fleet received a sudden mission to carry out strikes as quickly as possible using 4 “Kalibr” winged missiles on targets in the enemy’s military infrastructure,” adding that the targeted targets were destroyed in attack.
The attack coincides with the Ministry’s announcement that Su-25 attack aircraft destroyed the positions of covertly positioned vehicles and armored vehicles of the Ukrainian forces, in the direction of southern Donetsk.
The ministry said in a statement that the missile launches “were carried out from aircraft that were at low altitudes, carried out maneuvers, launched thermal traps, and returned to the take-off runway,” after carrying out their objectives.
Attack on Moscow
In Moscow, the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, announced that Russian air defense forces destroyed a drone launched by Ukraine towards the capital.
Sobyanin added via the Telegram application that the drone was destroyed over Podolsk in the Moscow region, explaining that preliminary information indicates that there was no damage or casualties at the site where the debris fell.
Russia announces on an almost daily basis that it has confronted Ukrainian drone attacks targeting its cities – including the capital, Moscow – as well as the strategic Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014.
Difficult conditions
Security developments in Ukraine coincide with NATO’s efforts to…NATO“To confirm its firm commitment to Ukraine in difficult circumstances in which neither side of the conflict succeeds in advancing on the battlefield, in addition to Washington’s procrastination from providing greater aid to Ukraine.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said at the beginning of a ministerial meeting in Brussels, “I am confident” of the continuation of US military support for Ukraine, but Washington’s aid has been stuck in Congress for weeks due to Republican representatives’ reluctance to contribute more to the war effort in Ukraine.
Many countries are reluctant to pay more money, a 20 billion euro aid proposed by EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell is on hold, and the total amount of 50 billion euros to aid Kiev remains on paper.
Since February 2022, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, supported by Western allies – led by the United States – has continued, and to date has left thousands dead and wounded on both sides, and while the two sides exchange attacks on an almost daily basis, none of the initiatives put forward have succeeded in bringing them to the negotiating table to end the war. .
