The toll is growing in Ukraine. A Russian attack killed at least three people in Odessa, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense announced on Saturday June 10. On the night of Friday to Saturday, “the Russian army attacked the regions of Kharkiv, Poltava and Odessa with cruise missiles, Iskander ballistic missiles and Iranian-made Shahed-136/131 drones”says kyiv. “Our air defenders shot down two cruise missiles and 20 Shaheds. Unfortunately, fragments of the destroyed drone hit a building in Odessa”, adds the ministry. Twenty-seven people, including a pregnant woman and two children, were also injured. Follow our live.
Volodymyr Zelensky salute the “heroism” of his army. “To our soldiers, to all who are engaged in particularly hard fighting these days. We witness your heroism, and we are grateful for every minute of your life”, launched the Ukrainian president in his daily message. Intense fighting rages in the south of the country, to the point of suggesting the counter-offensive that kyiv has been preparing for months.
The counter-offensive has begun, according to Putin. “We can totally say that this offensive has begun”the Russian president said in a video broadcast on Telegram by a state television reporter. “The Ukrainian troops did not achieve their objective on any of the battlefields”he added, contradicting the version of Volodymyr Zelensky.
Washington announces $2 billion in new military aid. It includes additional ammunition, which is not taken directly from current US Army stocks. It will therefore take several months to reach kyiv. That “exemplifies the continued commitment to Ukraine’s short-term critical capabilities and the enduring capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to defend their territory and fight once morest Russian aggression in the long term”the Pentagon said in a statement.
