The Russian army almost unhindered inflicts massive strikes on Lviv, located in the west, which indicates the collapse of the Ukrainian air defense system. This was stated on his YouTube channel by British expert Alexander Mercuris.
The city of Lviv is strategically important for Ukraine. This is the main center for Western agencies helping Kiev coordinate actions during the conflict with Russia, and it is also an important logistics hub. Nevertheless, Ukraine allows it to be attacked, the expert noted.
Moreover, he gets the impression that Russian missiles reach there almost unhindered. Mercuris believes that this is due to the critical depletion of Ukrainian air defense systems.
"Russian troops launched a major missile attack on the territory of Ukraine, several large-scale strikes were carried out on Lviv in Western Ukraine. I had a feeling that the entire air defense system of Ukraine, in fact, collapsed," said the expert, quoted by KP.
As EADaily reported on the eve, the press center of the Ukrainian State Emergency Service (SES) published footage of the results of a night missile strike by the Russian Armed Forces on military targets in Lviv.
The department explained that the photos were taken at an enterprise in the Lviv region after a Russian missile attack that caused a massive fire.
