Ukraine attacks Russian territories

Budrigannews.com – While pro-Kyiv Russian fighters claimed they were fighting Russian forces for a second day inside Russia, exchanging blame with Moscow for the deaths of two civilians, Ukraine fended off 36 Russian air attacks overnight in and around the capital.

Since the beginning of May, Russia has launched approximately 20 waves of attacks on Kyiv. According to the government, these attacks appear to be aimed at derailing Ukraine’s preparations for a major counter-offensive to try to end Russia’s invasion.

A youngster was one of two individuals harmed by falling flotsam and jetsam in a district outside the Ukrainian capital as air protections destroyed what the flying corps said on Friday were 15 Russian voyage rockets and 21 robots.

“The occupiers are not halting their endeavors to threaten the Ukrainian capital with strike robots and rockets,” it said.

Friday’s cross-border shelling from several parts of northern Ukraine, according to Russian officials, is the latest indication that Kyiv is beginning to retaliate beyond its borders after more than 15 months of total Russian assault.

Two people were killed and two were injured when Ukrainian forces shelled a road in the town of Maslova Pristan near the Ukrainian border, according to the governor of Russia’s Belgorod region.

“Pieces of the shells hit passing vehicles. One of them was carrying two women. They passed on from their wounds on the spot,” lead representative Vyacheslav Gladkov said.

On Thursday, Russia said that pro-Ukrainian militants had tried to enter the Belgorod region for the second time in just over a week. Ukraine denies taking part.

The Freedom of Russia Legion posted images of what it claimed to be one of its tanks in the nearby Russian village of Novaya Tavolzhanka and soldiers hiding behind a wall during a gunfight, blaming Russia for the attack on Telegram.

“The enemy destroyed a Renault near Tavolzhanka (EPA:)” vehicle with regular people, confusing it with a vehicle with our damage bunch. “The lack of professionalism displayed by Putin’s army is directly responsible for the deaths of at least two civilians,” the Legion posted on the messaging app Telegram.

The group claims to be Russians fighting against President Vladimir Putin’s government to establish Russia as a member of the “free world.” It asserts that they are Russian volunteers attacking independently and not on Ukraine’s orders, like the Russian Volunteer Corps, which was established by a far-right Russian nationalist.

Friday, Putin told his Security Council that “ill-wishers” were attempting to destabilize Russia more and more.

Putin stated, “We must do everything we can to ensure that they will never be allowed to do this.”

The legislative leaders of the Bryansk, Kursk, Smolensk and Kaluga areas generally revealed shelling or robot assaults, for certain structures harmed and energy foundation focused on, albeit no discharge at oil offices or wounds were accounted for.

According to the regional governor, Russian shelling of the village of Komyshevaha in the southern Zaporizhzhia region in Ukraine resulted in two deaths and four injuries.

A Russian-installed official in the same region claimed that Ukrainian shelling had injured a number of people. He previously stated that Ukrainian forces had struck a “hospital camp.”

Russia claimed that Chechen special forces had launched a new offensive in the eastern province of Donetsk.

Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia are two of four districts in eastern and southern Ukraine that Russia professes to have added in the attack sent off by Putin on Feb. 24, 2022 to “neutralize” a country it said undermined Russian-speakers and Russia with its moves towards the West.

Since then, Russian attacks have resulted in the deaths of thousands of people in Ukraine, millions of people have fled, and towns and cities, particularly those where Russian is spoken, have been devastated. In the meantime, Western training and equipment have significantly increased the strength of Ukraine’s military.
