Maksym Kozytskyi, the head of Lviv’s military administration, said the city’s critical infrastructure was damaged in one of the strikes. The city has largely avoided the war, though they are targeted aerially from time to time.Yurii Malashko, head of the Zaporizhzhia regional military administration, said the strikes targeted “communications area, property and equipment belonging to an agricultural and farming enterprise, as well as a popular recreation area.
“Our heroic people, our troops on the front of the frontline are facing very tough resistance,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said last week. “Because for Russia to lose this campaign to Ukraine, I would say, actually means losing the war," Zelensky added, emphasizing the significance of their counteroffensive.
Both Ukraine and Russian leaders have claimed the other side was struggling to stave off the opposing military.
