Russia Launches Major Airstrikes on Ukraine, Ukrainian Pilot Killed
Russia launched a major airstrike against it last night since the war launched for full occupation of Ukraine two years ago.
According to the Ukrainian Air Force, an F -16 fighter jet pilot was also killed during the attack.
Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yuri Ehnt told the NPR on Sunday that it was a major attack by Russia in terms of the number of weapons use.
In a statement on social media, the Air Force says Russia used 537 drones and missiles in the attack, of which 249 were killed while the remaining radar disappeared.
Meanwhile, local officials say the attacks targeted cities across Ukraine, including the southern city of Micoleev, the southeastern city of Zapurizia, the Central city of Crimekok and Liuvio in the west, with business and urban infrastructure that injured several people.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Validimer Ziliconki said in a statement on social media that a child was injured in a Russian attack in the Central Ukraine city of Samla.
The Ukrainian president has said that more than 114 missiles, 1270 drones and about 1110 guided air bombs have been fired only this week alone.
He says Russian President Putin had decided long ago that he would continue the war despite the world’s appeal.
