Ukraine claims that the Russian Black Sea division commander was killed in a missile strike
Ukraine said on Monday that it had carried out its first missile attack, killing the commander of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.
Ukrainian special forces said Viktor Sokolov and 33 other
officers were killed in the peninsula of Crimea in Friday's attack.
" Following the attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet
headquarters, 34 officers were killed, including the commander of the Russian
Black Sea Fleet," the Ukrainian side stated on Monday, adding that over
100 additional Russian officials were injured.
Joe Biden had vowed to supply long-range missiles to the Ukrainian
military after previous supplies of superior equipment failed to shift the
game.
Ukraine has been aggressively striking critical Russian targets in
Crimea, the Black Sea area of southern Ukraine that has been under Moscow's
authority since its takeover in 2014.
On the other side, the public in Ukraine has also been shocked by
the high death toll of soldiers in failed operations and the massive
destruction of military equipment purchased from the West.
Young Ukrainians are reportedly leaving the country in great numbers to avoid military service.
