Russia has continued its aggressive military campaign against Ukraine, launching multiple missile and drone attacks on various Ukrainian regions for the second day in a row. According to Ukraine’s military, at least four people have been killed in the attacks.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has escalated in recent days, with Moscow carrying out its largest air attack on Ukraine since the start of the war. The latest wave of attacks comes as a retaliation for what Russia claims was an incursion into the Kursk region by Ukrainian forces.
“The first reason for this attack is the incursion into the Kursk region,” explains FRANCE 24’s International Affairs Editor Philip Turle. The situation in the region remains tense, with both sides engaging in military action and civilian casualties mounting.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine shows no signs of abating, with both sides continuing to engage in military operations and airstrikes. The international community has condemned Russia’s actions and called for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further bloodshed.
As the situation in Ukraine continues to deteriorate, it is crucial for world leaders to come together and find a diplomatic solution to end the violence and ensure the safety and security of civilians in the region.
