Russia is launching such a large-scale attack on Ukraine that Ukrainian leaders have had to ask Western nations to allow more donated weapons to attack targets inside Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian forces attacked several areas on August 26, including Kyiv, with more than 100 missiles and more than 100 drones causing widespread damage to facilities and reservoirs. At least five people were found dead.
President Zelenskyy said this and the relevant authorities are rushing to repair the damaged system to restore it to normal as soon as possible. Ready to invite the United States Western allies have also allowed Ukraine to use more donated weapons against targets in Russia.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's state electricity company Ukraniago said the Russian attack had caused the power to be cut off in an emergency to maintain system stability.
The train schedule is also affected. On the morning of August 26, people in Kiev took refuge in various metro stations. There were several explosions, which are believed to be the work of the air defense system.
The Russian Defense Ministry issued a statement confirming such operations against Ukraine, the most intense in several weeks, and stating that “all attacks hit the target.”
This is why the Russian attack on Ukraine happened at the same time that fighting is continuing in the Russian Kursk region. Ukraine launched the attack on August 6, but at the same time, Russian forces are continuing their attack in the Donetsk region. And continued in eastern Ukraine.
