Media reports that Ukraine has received its first F-16 fighter jets. And with them, the allies are sending a number of American-made weapons, including the AIM-9X.
On the night of Saturday, Ukrainian forces attacked the airfield with drones – according to the Ukrainians, during the attack, the drones hit warehouses where Russian flying bombs were stored.
The Ukrainians also attacked a fuel storage facility in the Rostov region – a large fire broke out after the attack. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the occupiers destroyed 76 drones overnight.
If China wants to, it can force Russia to end this war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated this in an interview with French media, Ukrinform reports.
“If China wants to, it can force Russia to end this war. I wish they (China) would not undertake a mediation mission. I would like them to pressure Russia to end the war in the same way that the United States is and the EU is. And the stronger the state, the stronger the pressure must be on Russia. And not vice versa. It seems to me that then there will be a quick result,” V. Zelenskis said.
Meanwhile, according to Ukrainian military observer Denis Popovičius, Russian forces have begun an advance on the city of Torecko in the Donetsk region. He added that the Russians are successfully attacking because of a large superiority in manpower and the active use of hovering bombs.
True, the city of Torecko is still under the control of the Ukrainian armed forces, and Russian statements about its capture are just Russian disinformation, UNIAN reports. It adds that the attack on this city will be an important part of the Russian summer offensive.
