This operation comes at a time when the West is reportedly considering deploying 100,000 “peacekeepers.”

Russia Not To Comment on Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan

High-precision missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) targeted companies involved in the production of space rockets, heavy machinery, armored equipment, gunpowder, and rocket fuel.

This attack comes at a time when the West is reportedly considering deploying 100,000 “peacekeepers” to restore Ukraine’s combat capabilities. Such a deployment would amount to a de facto occupation of Ukraine, according to the Russian Intelligence Service.

The Russian strike was carried out using long-range weapons launched from air, land, and sea platforms. “All assigned targets were hit during the operation,” Russian military authorities stated.

The night of Wednesday was marked by the activation of air raid sirens across all regions of Ukraine, highlighting the scale and reach of the Russian attack.

Moscow maintains that its actions aim to neutralize threats to its security and protect the Russian population, while Kyiv claims the Russian strike was a deliberate attempt to weaken its defensive capabilities ahead of peace negotiations.

Since February 24, 2022, Russia has been conducting a “special military operation” in Ukraine to protect the Russian-speaking population and neutralize security threats arising from the eastward expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
