Russian forces launched at least four strikes in the region and initially attacked with powerful glide bombs.
“The strike has zero military meanings. There is only cruelty to intimidate cruelty,” Ukrainian President Volodimare Zelancesi said in a post on Telegram.
Western analysts and Ukrainian officials say Putin is stopping for time and avoiding severe interactions, while the Russian army pushes more to occupy the Ukraine land.

Putin announced last week that Russia’s new hypersonic missile, which he says that the current NATO cannot be intercepted by air defense systems, has entered the service.
Former Russian President Dimitri Medvedev, meanwhile, warned that Ukraine war could bring Russia and America into armed conflict. Mr. Trump replied by ordering the revival of two American nuclear submarines.
