Russia is starting new fronts to extend Ukraine’s army, which is lacking ammunition and manpower, along the about 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) front line in order to make the defenses crumble. Russian artillery and sabotage raids have also been annoying Ukraine’s northern Chernihiv and Sumy regions.
On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy’s office announced that all his future foreign visits were postponed due to a new Russian offensive.
Zelenskyy has canceled all the foreign visits that were planned for the next few days, as per his office on Telegram on Wednesday.
The president of the nation asked his team to change the visits.
“We are thankful to our partners for that, the announcement stated.
Zelenskyy was supposed to visit Spain, maybe Portugal, later this week.
THIS IS A DELUCTIVE NEWS UPDATE. AP’s previous story should be a continuation of the sentence below.
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) reported that air defenses shot down 10 U.S.-supplied Ukrainian missiles targeting the Crimean Peninsula early Wednesday, as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spent a second day in Kyiv and the Ukrainian army fought to hold the front-line line of the Kremlin’s forces.
The ministry of the ATACMS long-range ballistic missiles was able to destroy them over the Black Sea. The U.S. is still showing its ATACMS, which stands for Army Tactical Missile System, in a military aid package in March.
The Ukrainian attack took place as the Russian troops have been pushing their offensive in the northeast of Ukraine’s Kharkiv region that started last week, which was the biggest border incursion since the full-scale invasion began and led to almost 8,000 local people leaving their homes. Besides Moscow’s weekslong struggle to continue on its recent success in the eastern Donetsk region, the two-year war has now reached a critical moment for the Ukraine army, which has been depleted for a long time.
