It has kept up that effort despite Western sanctions and the supply of Western air defense systems to Ukrainian forces. “This is how Russians congratulated our children on the holiday,” Serhii Kruk, the head of Ukraine’s State Emergency Service, wrote on Telegram, attaching photos of firefighters barely distinguished amid the flames of an infrastructure facility that got hit.
Bits of wreckage from the downed drones damaged a road in the central Solomianskyi district and broke windows in a multi-story building in the Shevchenkyvskyi district of Kyiv, city officials said. Ukraine’s air force said on Telegram that its personnel were able to destroy 30 of at least 35 self-exploding drones that Russia launched across the country from the eastern side of the Azov Sea on Ukraine’s southeast coast. Russia is on the other side of the sea.
Sitting alongside Lukashenko before their talks in the capital of Belarus, Putin emphasized the close military-technical ties between the two allies, adding that they include not only mutual supplies of equipment but also joint work in high-tech military industries.
