Ukraine President Volodimir Jailonsky said the city Lutsk is the most affected in the North Western Ukraine and the city Lutsk located near the Belarus border while 10 other areas have also been attacked. There are Ukrainian Army airports in Lutsk.
Cargo aircraft and fighter aircraft regularly fly from the city. The western regions of Ukraine are an important area in terms of logistics in the war as there is a supply of important foreign military aid at the airports and depots that are later sent to other parts of the country.
Russia had earlier attacked Ukraine from late night till the next day. Russia’s vast army has launched a new campaign to gain control over parts of the 1,000 km long front row.
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he is “not happy” from Russia President Vladimir Putin. US officials said on Wednesday that the Trump -led administration has started sending some weapons to Ukraine.
The move has been taken at a time when the US Ministry of Defense headquarters ‘Pentagon’ said a week ago that it is currently stopping Ukraine from a air strike missile, accurate target cannons such as sending some weapons. This order was given because the US is worried about the fact that its reserves of its own weapons have reduced.
Two US administration officials said on the condition of keeping their identity confidential that the weapons being sent to Ukraine include 155 mm of ammunition and accurate attack rocket GMLRS (directed multiplication rocket system).
