As a part of the ongoing Russian invasion, several residential areas of Ukraine’s important cities, including Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv, were targeted by Russian artillery. As a result, hundreds of people have been killed in this continued bombardment. This bombardment also resulted in the death of one Indian student.
Ukraine reportedly said that a Russian rocket strike today killed more than 70 Ukrainian soldiers as a large Russian military convoy approached Kyiv’s city. So far, Russia has been prevented from gaining significant early wins due to tenacious opposition on the ground.
Meanwhile, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Lavrov has alleged in his recent statement that Ukraine possesses nuclear technology and that Russia must respond to this threat. He said that Russia will continue its military operations in Ukraine until Russia achieves its goal.
Their goal is to demilitarize Ukraine and will not let Ukraine become a part of NATO. He also maintains Russia’s official stance on this matter that Russia is not occupying Ukraine’s territory. Instead of this Russia wanted to demilitarize Ukraine and to give “self-determination” to Ukraine’s people.
In addition, he also warned the West to refrain from constructing military bases in former Soviet Union countries. Earlier, the US and other various countries imposed sanctions on Lavrov and Putin.
