Russian strike on Ukraine on August 26
On the morning of August 26, Russia launched another massive missile attack on Ukraine. According to Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, 15 regions were affected today. According to him, the Russians again targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that the Russian attack on Ukraine on August 26 was one of the largest. Russia fired more than a hundred missiles of various types and about a hundred Shahed drones.
Oleksandr Kovalenko, head of the National Security and Defense Council's Central Intelligence Center, confirmed the information about the Russian strike on the hydroelectric dam in Vyshhorod near Kyiv. “There are no threats to the Kyiv HPP dam. It is impossible to destroy it with missiles. There is no point in comparing it to Kherson region - it was an inside attack,” he writes.
