Russia, responding to Saturday night’s attack on a crucial bridge connecting it with Crimea, hit multiple targets in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities this Monday with missiles.
According to the WSJ, the targets included critical civilian infrastructure such as electrical grids, causing power outages. The strikes were partially carried out with Iranian-made drones.
According to its Defense Ministry, Ukraine was able to intercept more than half of the 83 missiles targeting Ukrainian cities
“They want panic and chaos,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated, “They want to destroy our energy system.”
I've had a phone call with Prime Minister @trussliz. We count on 🇬🇧's leadership in consolidating international political and defense support for Ukraine, in particular regarding the protection of our skies. And also in the further isolation of Russia.
