ADVERTISEMENTUkraine says it has struck a Russian air base on Saturday, while Russia continued to bomb Ukraine with hundreds of drones overnight.
According to the Ukrainian staff, the Ukrainian forces struck Borisoglebsk air base in the Russian region of Voronej. This base is described as the “base d’attache” Russian combat aircraft su-34, su-35s and su-30sm.
On Facebook, the staff said it had affected a deposit containing hovering bombs, a training aircraft and “Maybe other planes”. The Russian authorities did not immediately comment on the attack.
Russia continues its strikes on Ukraine, with 322 drones and lures sent overnight from Saturday to Sunday. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, the Russian attack mainly aimed at the city of Starokostiiantyniv, in the Khmelnytskyi region.
The Ukrainian Air Force said that 135 drones had disappeared from radars and that 157 had been slaughtered.
Russia has intensified its long -range attacks against Ukraine, with waves of drones and missiles targeting the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, on the night of Friday to Saturday, killing at least two people and wounding at least 26 others.
Is Donald Trump’s mediation in the process of failing?
This new wave of attacks occurs after the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday that he had a phone call “Very important and productive” With US President Donald Trump.
The two leaders discussed the way in which the Ukrainian air defenses could be reinforced, a possible joint production of weapons between the United States and Ukraine, and wider efforts carried out by the United States to end the war with Russia, according to Volodymyr Zelensky.
Asked Friday evening by journalists on this call, Donald Trump said: “We had a very good call, I think”.
Asked about the possibility of finding a way to end the fighting, he replied: “I don’t know. I can’t tell you if it will happen or not.”
This call took place in a context of increasing concern concerning the supply of American weapons to Ukraine, and shortly after an appeal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, who offered no hope to end the war.
The United States has suspended certain military aid deliveries to Ukraine, including crucial air defense missiles.
