Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Smyhal said earlier today that Russia had fired more than 50 missiles into Ukraine and that most of them were shot down.
“Russia cannot accept failure and therefore continues to terrorize the (Ukrainian) population. Another attempt (today) to destroy the Ukrainian energy system and deprive Ukrainians of light, heating and water,” Smikhal wrote on Telegram.
The Air Force said Russia deployed eight Tu-95MS strategic bombers and that they fired X-101 and X-555 missiles from the Caspian Sea and the city of Volgodonsk in Russia.
