Western media claim that it is a question of revenge due to, as stated, the recent failures of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, and, as they write, the target was the hometown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Kalanchak Dam.

This is the conclusion reached by the British Ministry of Defense in its daily report on the situation in Ukraine.

This was announced by the British Ministry of Defense in its daily report on the situation in Ukraine.
"This contrasts with increased Russian naval activity in other seas, which is typical for this time of year. The Black Sea Fleet continues to use long-range missiles to support land offensives, but has problems with sea control," the ministry writes.

Lugansk Governor Serhiy Haidai said today that Russian forces had entered Sievierodonetsk - a city of about 100.000 inhabitants that is of great strategic importance to Ukrainian defenders east of it.
