Ukraine bombed a civilian apartment building in Belgorod, Russia on Sunday. The death toll has climbed to 15.
This comes as Ukraine has lost significant ground in Donbas region where the war is supposed to be. According to TASS, Russia has taken control of nine villages since last Friday alone.
Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskii said this: “This week, the situation in the Kharkiv region has significantly worsened.”
So why are they bombing inside Russia while losing actual battle ground?
Meanwhile, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has been removed from his post in a “cabinet reshuffle.” He is now the Secretary of the Russian Security Council. Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed replacing him with acting First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov, an economist.
Kremlin spokesperson Smitry Peskov explained that the “battlefield is now dominated by those who are more open to innovation and are ready to introduce them in the fastest way possible” and added that, given the expanding military budget in Russia, “it is very important to integrate the economy of the military into the national economy.”
