While western Ukraine has largely been spared so far, Russian air strikes overnight Saturday into Sunday carried the war deep into the west, killing 35 people and wounding 134 at a military base near Yavoriv, outside the city of Lviv.
LVIV - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Nato Monday that its member states would soon be attacked by Russian forces after an air strike hit a Ukrainian military base close to the Polish border.
Washington and its EU allies have sent funds and military aid to Ukraine and imposed unprecedented economic sanctions on Russia."Last year, I clearly warned Nato leaders that if there were no harsh preventive sanctions against the Russian Federation, it would go to war," Zelensky said. "We were right."
A humanitarian column headed there had to turn back again on Sunday, a city official told AFP, after the Russians "did not stop firing." "Russians are bombing the city even during official negotiations," Defence Minister Reznikov said. "They have no dignity, no honour, no mercy." Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby told ABC that Russia was "clearly, at least from an air strike perspective... broadening their target sets".
The northwestern suburb of Bucha is entirely held by Russian forces, along with parts of Irpin, Ukrainian soldiers told AFP. Some blocks in the once well-to-do suburb have been reduced to rubble.
