Ukraine’s Struggle Against Russian Aggression: One Town, One Raid, and Two Missile Attacks in a Day

Despite Russian attempts to penetrate its defenses, the Ukrainian Army Commander Oleksandr Sersky confirmed that his forces still control the town of Chasiv Yar in the east of the country. The strategic location and heavy fortifications of Chasiv Yar make it crucial for Kiev’s defense.

Meanwhile, on the southern front, Russian forces fired five missiles at the city of Zaporizhya, resulting in casualties, injuries, and damage to buildings and industrial facilities. The impact of these missile attacks was devastating, with significant damage to residential buildings, private homes, shops, and industrial facilities.

In response to the attacks in Zaporizhya, the Ukrainian Air Force issued a warning about ballistic missiles in the region controlled by Russia. Moscow has been increasing its use of difficult-to-intercept ballistic missiles lately.

On another front, Russian forces carried out a raid on Kharkiv, the second largest Ukrainian city, killing civilians and causing injuries. The advance of Russian forces in eastern Ukraine is slow but steady. However, Ukrainian forces are facing challenges due to a shortage of artillery shells as they try to defend their territory against aggression from Russia.

Unfortunately, US aid remains pending approval from Congress to support Ukrainian defense efforts against Russian aggression. Without this aid, Ukraine will continue to struggle to maintain control over its territories and protect its citizens from further attacks by Russia.
