Russia intensifies attacks across southern and eastern Ukraine, and a major new offensive is widely anticipated as the first anniversary of its invasion nears.
KYIV, Ukraine – Russia said it had broken through two of Ukraine’s fortified defense lines in the east of the country, while Western countries announced more, including artillery rounds, as Kyiv warned of continued Russian attacks.
“During the offensive… the Ukrainian troops randomly retreated to a distance of up to 3 kilometers from the previously occupied lines,” the ministry said on the Telegram messaging app. In Kyiv, the capital’s military administration said six Russian balloons that may have contained reconnaissance equipment were shot down over the city on Wednesday after air raid sirens blared.
They also trained tank, mortar and artillery fire on communities straddling the borders of Kharkiv and Luhansk region, it added. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said alliance members were continuing to produce 155mm artillery rounds.
