Attacks on Ukraine
Over the past week, Russian forces carried out 15 strikes on 11 gas stations in Kharkiv. Almost all of the attacks targeted gas facilities located at the stations.
On Sunday, May 3, Russian forces launched a massive attack on Ukraine, using various types of weapons, including attack drones and missiles.
