According to the United States, Russia is preparing new attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure. “We have information that Russia is planning more attacks on civilian infrastructure and government facilities in Ukraine in the coming days,” a US official said, citing information from US intelligence agencies.
“Given Russia’s track record in Ukraine, we are concerned about the continued threat to civilians and civilian infrastructure from Russian attacks,” the spokesman said.
Beware of Attacks on Independence Day
In Kiev, too, there is growing nervousness about possible Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian cities as important holidays are approaching. Ukraine will celebrate the day of its blue-and-yellow national flag on Tuesday. Wednesday is Independence Day. The date coincides with half a year of the Russian invasion, which began on February 24. Ukraine’s military intelligence warned civilians to be more careful: “Air alerts are a serious signal and everyone should heed it.”
Explosions over Sevastopol
As in the previous nights, Russian air defenses in Crimea were deployed against suspected Ukrainian drones on Monday. Residents heard explosions over Sevastopol, home to the Russian Black Sea Fleet. “An object was shot down at a great height. Therefore, the noise could be heard in different parts of the city,” the head of the administration, Mikhail Rasvozhayev, wrote on Telegram. There were no reports of damage. In Kiev, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Mykhailo Podoliak, announced that the intensity of such attacks would increase.
Use of multiple rocket launchers
In the largely occupied Kherson region, Ukrainian forces attacked the Nova Kakhovka dam on the Dnipro on Monday to make it impassable to Russian troops. The Russian occupation administration announced that the HIMARS multiple rocket launchers from the US were used. Two people were killed. There were no Ukrainian confirmations. However, with such attacks, the Ukrainian army is systematically trying to close supply routes for Russian troops on the right bank of the Dnipro.
In eastern Ukraine, Russian attacks continued with heavy artillery fire and air strikes, the Ukrainian General Staff said. According to Zelenskyy, Russia has fired 3,500 cruise missiles at Ukraine since the start of the war. The artillery shells could not be counted, the fire was so intense.
