Pistorius in Kyiv: Germany strengthening with millions of air aid!

Kiew, Ukraine - Russia has strengthened its air raids on cities and military destinations in Ukraine. In the past few days there has been a massive offensive in which the Ukrainians were confronted with the worst wave of attack since the beginning of the war, which began more than three years ago. In the night of Sunday, the Ukraine recorded almost 300 drone attacks and around 70 rocket and march aircraft attacks that made up a total of 370 air strikes. This reports BNN .

Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj does not see this aggression in response to Ukrainian success, but as a proof of Russia's lack of interest in peace. In this critical situation, the German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius arrived unannounced in Kiev to find out about the military situation and to discuss the planned military aid. Germany and Great Britain take on a leadership role in military aid for Ukraine and support the Ukrainian air defense with five billion euros for various military needs, including ammunition and repair.

Humanitarian crisis and civil losses

The air strikes have tragic consequences for the civilian population. At least twelve people, including children, died in various regions of Ukraine, dozens of others were injured. At least four deaths were reported in Kyiv, as was the Chmelnyzkij region. Rescue workers are used in over 30 cities and villages. The reports from the Schytomyr region are particularly tragic, where two children and one young person were killed by the attacks. The Presse emphasizes that the attacks are referred to as terrorist acts.

The international community, including Austria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, demands increased pressure on Russia. The Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha speaks of massive attacks and calls for unconditional ceasefire. Over 1000 civilians have been killed since the beginning of the war, which further exacerbates the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.

military developments on site

In Ukraine, Western military representatives report on terrain by the Ukrainian armed forces that were able to push back Russian troops in the east of Kiev. Control over the cities of Makariw and almost all of Irpin could be recaptured. However, the Russian army reported that he had achieved "complete control" over the city of Isjum, which is contested by the Ukrainian side. Fighters have taken over the town hall of Mariupol and spread a climate of fear.
