Russia’s navy has launched cruise missiles into Ukraine and its activities in the Black Sea are crucial to supporting land operations in the south of the country, where it is battling to seize full control of the port of Mariupol. “Russian forces are increasing their activities on the southern and eastern fronts, attempting to avenge their defeats,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a Wednesday night video address.
Russia will view US and Nato vehicles transporting weapons on Ukrainian territory as legitimate military targets, deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov told the TASS news agency.
