The Ukrainian army has achieved a strategic objective in Russian territory. Military intelligence drones attacked on Wednesday morning Gorbunov aircraft factory to KazanIn the Tatarstanwhere strategic bombers are produced and repaired Tu-22M And Tu-160M. Local media reported explosions within the facility’s perimeter soon after the warning sirens sounded, with the company being evacuated. Rosaviatsia (the Russian Federal Transport Agency) stated that at Kazan airports, Nizhnyokamsk And Nizhny Novgorod Arrivals and departures have been suspended. An attack that comes after the Russian offensive that struck with three missile attacks a densely populated neighborhood of Chernihiv, city in northern Ukraine. The bombing destroyed an eight-story building, four apartment buildings, a hospital, a school and several cars: according to the president’s office Volodymyr Zelensky there are 11 dead and over 50 injured, including three children, but other bodies could be found under the rubble. “My condolences to the families and friends. Unfortunately, the death toll could rise,” Zelensky writes on Telegram. And he takes the opportunity to argue – for the second time in a few hours – with the Western allies asking for more military aid: “This would not have happened if Ukraine had received sufficient air defense equipment and if the world’s determination to fight terrorism was also sufficient. Support matters.”
“We have cut off all supplies in the area, electricity and gas, to avoid further destruction,” the mayor of Chernihiv informed after the attack, Oleksandr Lomako. Meanwhile, according to a reconstruction by BBC Russia and some independent media, Moscow’s count of dead soldiers in Ukraine has exceeded the threshold of fifty thousand: in the second year of the war they lost their lives well 27,300 menThe 25% more compared to the first 12 months. The estimate is eight times higher than the only official public acknowledgment of the number of victims ever provided by Moscow, in September 2022. And “the number is likely to be much higher“, writes the BBCdescribing Russian military tactics as “meat grinder strategy“: send waves of soldiers charging relentlessly, to try to wear down the Ukrainian forces.
