Let us tell you that Russia has intensified missile and drone attacks on Ukraine. Last week, Ukraine was bombed the most and now Kiev has been targeted with ballistic missiles.

Earlier, Ukraine attacked Russia with 158 drones over the weekend and targeted an oil refinery, a power station near Moscow. At the same time, fighting has intensified with the advance of Russian forces in eastern Ukraine last month, while Kiev troops carried out their first large-scale cross-border attack into Russia.
