West to Bolster Ukraine Air Defense; Nuclear Plant Loses Power
Hundreds of cities and towns across Ukraine lost power after Russia launched a wide-ranging missile assault Monday in retaliation for a truck bomb explosion that damaged a bridge linking Russia with the Crimean Peninsula. Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.
“What Ukraine is asking for, and what we think can be provided, is an integrated air missile defense system. So that doesn’t control all the airspace over Ukraine, but they’re designed to control priority targets that Ukraine needs to protect,” Milley told reporters “These attacks reinforce the government’s belief that they can only be answered with unwavering support for Ukraine and its people," Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongreher said. “The Netherlands, like our partners, will not be intimidated by Russia.”
The FSB alleged the detained suspects acted on orders of Ukraine’s military intelligence to secretly move the explosives by a convoluted route into Russia using forged documents. In Nikopol, a city of 104,000 across the Dnieper River from the Zaporizhzhia plant, three people were gravely wounded, including a 6-year-old girl. Over 30 multi-story residential buildings were damaged, as as well as private houses and schools, Ukrainian authorities said.
