The images after the Russian attack show the state in which these military installations have been left, 25 kilometers from the Polish border

A voice accompanies the images throughout the sequence, which has been broadcast on social networks and has been verified by El País.

The person recording the video is inside the Yavoriv military base, in western Ukraine and only about 20 kilometers from the Polish border.

His story is full of insults impossible to translate into Spanish due to lack of equivalents.

At one point in the video, his voice pauses a bit and he says, "This is the Russian world, guys."

In front of him is the destruction of the facilities.

A few moments later a huge crater caused by one of the missiles appears.

The base was one of the largest military training facilities in the country, at 360 square kilometers.

The governor of the Lviv region points out that the attack has caused at least 35 deaths and 134 wounded, while the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksii Reznikov, assures that there were “foreign instructors” at the facility.

With this bombing, the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, not only redoubles his threat to Ukraine, but also hardens his pulse with the European Union and NATO a day after the EU expressed its intention to send the country all the weapons that are necessary.

Moscow has designated the supply of weapons to Kiev as a "legitimate objective", reports
