On Monday morning, Russian forces launched strikes on kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. According to a latest report, 11 dead and 89 injured are to be deplored.
French President Emmanuel Macron denounces this Monday a “profound change in the nature” of the war in Ukraine following a series of Russian strikes throughout Ukraine.
These “deliberate strikes by Russia on the whole of Ukrainian territory and once morest civilians is a profound change in the nature of this war”, he said during a trip to Château-Gontier in Mayenne. .
The president added that he would bring together his diplomatic and military advisers concerned as soon as he returned to Paris to “take stock” of the situation. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres for his part denounced “an unacceptable escalation”.
A Russian Revenge
This Monday morning, kyiv as well as many other cities in Ukraine such as Dnipro, Zaporijia or Lviv woke up to Russian bombardments. Strikes that look like revenge from Vladimir Putin, while the Ukrainian forces have been gaining ground for several weeks now.
The strikes, which according to Volodymyr Zelensky aimed to affect infrastructure linked to the “energy system”, left at least 11 dead and 89 injured across the country, according to the latest police report.
On Sunday, the Russian president denounced in particular a “terrorist act” on the part of the Ukrainian secret services, which he accuses of being at the origin of the explosion of the Crimean bridge, a very symbolic bridge in that it connects Russia and the annexed peninsula.
“If the attempts of terrorist attacks on our territory continue, Russia’s responses will be severe and their scale will correspond to the level of the threats posed”, Vladimir Putin declared on Monday at the opening of a televised meeting of the Russian Security Council. .
