More and more missiles and combat drones with components from the West that are actually subject to sanctions are hitting Ukraine. Ukrainian head of state Volodymyr Zelenskyj is calling for more consistent implementation of sanctions against Russia.
“All of this must and can be stopped: the toleration of terror, the ability of terrorists to find allies around the world, and Russian terror itself - all its manifestations,” he says. At least 15 people have been injured by falling debris from a downed Russian cruise missile in the Dnipro region in southeastern Ukraine. Further south, at least four people were injured by Russian artillery fire in the city of Nikopol. The Ukrainian military leadership fears a so-called false flag operation in the coming days at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant occupied by Russian troops. The general staff in Kiev wrote on Facebook that responsibility for the occupiers' unspecified action should then be blamed on Ukraine. No one but Russia has ever brought the world so close to the brink of a deliberate nuclear catastrophe.
