Ukraine continued its offensive against Russia on Friday, launching a major cross-border incursion and carrying out a significant air attack on a Russian airbase located hundreds of kilometers behind the front lines. The escalation in hostilities comes as tensions between the two countries remain high, with Ukraine accusing Russia of supporting separatists in the eastern regions of the country.
According to reports from FRANCE 24 correspondent in Kramatorsk, Ukraine, Emmanuelle Chaze, the Ukrainian military has been carrying out a sustained assault on Russian targets. The air attack on the Russian airfield is seen as a significant development in the conflict, as it marks a bold move by Ukraine to target Russian military assets deep inside Russian territory.
The situation on the ground remains fluid, with both sides exchanging fire and casualties mounting on both sides. The international community has expressed concern over the escalating violence in the region, and calls for a peaceful resolution to the conflict have been reiterated.
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been ongoing for several years now, with no end in sight. The latest offensive by Ukraine is likely to further strain relations between the two countries and could have far-reaching implications for the region as a whole.
As the situation continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how the conflict will be resolved and what the future holds for Ukraine and Russia. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
