In addition to the United States, the British now also want to supply Ukraine with multiple long-range missile launchers. The British government said it would send several M270 missile systems with a range of up to 50 miles (80 km) to the country. According to BBC information, it should initially be three. “As Russia’s tactics change, so must our support,” British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said Monday.
The high-precision weapons would enable Ukraine to better defend itself against attacks from Russia, which flattened cities with its long-range artillery. “With continued support from the international community, I believe Ukraine can win,” Wallace said. Ukrainian troops are being trained in weapons in Britain. The delivery was closely coordinated with the United States, which recently announced the delivery of long-range weapons.
Putin threatens retaliatory strikes
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to attack new targets if the US starts supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles. Such missiles have a range of more than 5500 kilometers and a high speed. Russia also has its own long-range missiles.
According to the governor of Luhansk, the situation in Sieverodonetsk has deteriorated again for the Ukrainian side. There are fierce street fights, Serhij Gajdaj tells state television. “Our defenders managed to counter-attack for a while, they liberated almost half of the city. But now the situation has deteriorated a bit for us again.” However, Ukrainian soldiers had positions in the industrial zone of the city.
Railway bridge destroyed in Russian border area
The village of Tyotkino, located near the border with Ukraine in the Kursk region of western Russia, has been shelled again, according to authorities. “There were no deaths or injuries,” Governor Roman Starovoit said on Monday on his account on the social network vkontakte. According to him, shots were fired on a bridge in the village. But it also hit a residential building and the local sugar factory. A car has burned out. As you can see from the photos, a railway bridge was destroyed by the impacts. The Russian army uses the railways in the border regions to supply their own troops in Ukraine.
It is not the first time that Tjotkino has come under fire. A civilian was killed in such an attack in mid-May. The Russian leadership, which itself launched the war of aggression against Ukraine on February 24, has been complaining for weeks about Ukrainian attacks on its own territory.
