Air raid alarms were heard this morning (Sunday) all over Ukraine.
According to Ukrainian media, the alarms were apparently caused by Russian planes arriving in Belarus.
Yesterday, a senior official in Ukraine called for the "destroy" of factories in Iran used for the production of drones and missiles and to arrest their suppliers. Kyiv accused Tehran of intending to supply weapons to Moscow, in addition to the suicide drones that the Russian military has been using against civilian targets in Ukraine since September.
Iran claims that the drones were supplied before the war, and denies that it is involved in the conflict.

In addition to these drones, which explode on target, Ukraine and the West warn that Iran may supply Russia with ballistic missiles in light of the depletion its reserves.
Washington said on Thursday that the Wagner Force, a private mercenary militia led by an ally of Vladimir Putin, had received its first arms shipment from North Korea.

Yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin used the word "war" to refer to the conflict in Ukraine.
This is the time, in the ten months since the war began, that he deviated from his carefully crafted description of the invasion of Moscow as a "special military operation".
"Our goal is not to turn the flywheel of the military conflict, but on the contrary, to end this war," Putin told reporters in Moscow, after attending a State Council meeting on youth policy.
"We have been and will continue to strive for this," he added.
