Massive Russian air attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure

More than 2 years have passed since the war in Ukraine. During this period, Russia has the upper hand in the battle fronts due to more military personnel and relying on its weapons power. This issue has pushed Ukraine to the brink of defeat in the war.

According to the Reuters news agency, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced today (Sunday) that the Russian Air Force carried out a large-scale air operation against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and gas industry.

This statement adds: During this attack, the army used long-range air-based weapons and drones to destroy the enemy’s targets.

The Ministry of Defense of Russia, referring to the severity of the damage to the energy infrastructure of Ukraine, noted: During this air attack, the activity of the Ukrainian defense industry in the field of production and repair of weapons, military equipment, and ammunition was disrupted. We achieved all our objectives during this attack and all objectives were destroyed.

Ukrainian authorities have not reacted to this attack so far, and no reports of casualties and damages have been published yet.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly asked Western authorities to provide the country with an advanced air defense system to counter Russian air attacks. However, the Republicans in the US House of Representatives have blocked the package of military aid to Ukraine worth 61 billion dollars.
