She also stressed that Russia is focusing its efforts on preventing the advance of Ukrainian forces, especially in Kherson and Zaporozhye, noting that it has shelled about 30 settlements with artillery.
It also states that Russian troops launched a large-scale missile and air strike, inflicting 27 air strikes and 80 missile strikes against populated military and civilian targets.
Earlier today, the capital Kyiv witnessed the first massive drone attack in 12 days, but air defense systems were able to repel it.
It is noteworthy that Kyiv launched a counterattack a few weeks ago with a delay of several months, but this attack did not go as far as Western aspirations and estimates. More than one Western official from Ukraine’s allies, led by the United States, has pointed out that this attack has not achieved its goals and is still moving slowly.
At the same time, Kyiv confirmed that its attack still hides many plans and opportunities, stressing that something more is coming.
