Missile blows in Ukraine: in ISW ​​explained why the Russian Federation is played on massive shelling

Analysts of the Institute of War Study have given information reports of the Ukrainian and Russian sides about a large -scale rocket strike in Ukraine, which the Russian Federation made on the night of May 1. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has recently been able to actively describe the involvement of Russian missiles on the infrastructure of Ukraine to show persistent activity and reassure the Russians before the announced counter -offensive of the Armed Forces.

This conclusion was reached by analysts of the American Institute for War Study (ISW), which is stated in their report in May 1. So, on the night of May 1, Russia struck another large -scale rocket strike in Ukraine. The Ukrainian side reported that 9 strategic Tu-95 bombers and two Tu-160 flew in the Caspian Sea and from the Murmansk region and released 18 cruise missiles X-101/555 in Ukraine. The air defense of Ukraine knocked down 15 rockets.

Geolocation footage from Pavlograd of Dnipropetrovsk region shows that one of the missiles hit the Pavlograd chemical plant, and therefore a strong explosion occurred. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that they kissed Ukrainian military-industrial facilities and successfully destroyed the production of military raw materials.

"The Ministry of Defense of Russia has recently changed its rhetoric and actively describes the strike campaigns, probably trying to portray a proactive approach to the concern of the Russian information space on the Ukrainian counter -offensive," the institute said. Russian troops reported that Russian missiles had struck Ukrainian air defense systems and a transport knot in Pavlograd. The Air Force spokesman Yuri Ignat noted that Russian aircraft carried much less rockets than their loading.
