The Ukrainian government has accused Russian troops of attacking residential areas. This is a provocation because of the planned counter-offensive. In Pavlohrad and Uman, several people were killed this weekend when rockets hit houses.
The Ukrainian side denies that military targets were hit. “There is no doubt that they (Russian troops, take note) are conducting direct attacks against civilian apartment buildings or places where there are many homes of the civilian population,” said adviser to the presidential office Mykhailo Podoliak on Tuesday night. In addition, the Kremlin wants to test whether the enemy is able to protect its own airspace.
As reported, a rocket hit a residential building in the Ukrainian city of Uman on Friday, claiming many lives. Other people were injured. Russian cruise missiles also caused serious damage and killed at least two people in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Pavlohrad. According to Ukrainian sources, several civilians were killed or injured in attacks in the east of the country on Monday. In addition, numerous buildings were once again damaged or completely destroyed.
Missing ammunition?
Since last fall, Russia has been increasingly attacking Ukraine with missiles. During the cold months, the attacks mainly targeted objects that supply electricity and heat. According to estimates by the British secret services, Russia is running out of ammunition. So no further decisive progress could be made. There were internal disputes, especially between the army and the head of Wagner’s mercenaries, Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Russia’s political leadership demands success on the battlefield, while leaders in charge of logistics fall by the wayside, London sources say. Russian Deputy Defense Minister Mikhail Mizintsev, who was responsible for the army’s material and technical supplies for eight months, was recently fired. Colonel General Alexey Kuzmenkov, formerly deputy director of the National Guard, has taken up his duties.
Almost a fifth of Ukraine’s territory (including the Crimea peninsula) is now in Russian hands. According to the attackers, about 85 percent of the area in the hotly contested city of Bakhmut has been affected.
