Russia strikes targets in western Ukraine, a company factory by NASDAQ listed

The Ukrainian Air Force said on Thursday that Russia fired one of its largest air attacks this year in Ukraine, with 574 drones and 40 missiles overnight. The military branch said that the attack mostly targeted the western regions of the country.

At least one person was killed in Levv, and 15 others were wounded, according to officials.

Ukraine Foreign Minister Andre Cypeha said that Russia had struck the “main manufacturer of American electronics” in western Ukraine.

The western parts of Ukraine are not far from the battlefield in the east and south of the country. It is believed that a large part of the military aid provided by the Western allies of Ukraine are transported and stored there.

It was the third largest air attack in Russia this year in terms of the number of drones launched and the eighth of the missile, according to official figures.

The strikes took place during a renewed effort by Western countries to reach a peace settlement in a three -year war after Russia invaded its neighbor.

Ukrainian President Folodimir Zellinski condemned the attack, saying that it was carried out, “As if there was nothing to change at all.”

He said that Moscow has not shown any signs of meaningful negotiations to end the war and urged the international community to respond with stronger pressure, including the most striking sanctions and definitions.

The mayor of Mukatchivo Andrei Palaha said that the damaged institution belongs to Flex Ltd. , It is a company listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. The company’s headquarters is located – a global technology partner, supply chain and advanced manufacturing solution partner – Austin, Texas, and its office registered in Singapore.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said that the strikes targeted the “institutions of the Ukrainian military industrial complex.” She claimed that the attack hit the drone factories, storage warehouses and missile launch sites, as well as the areas where the Ukrainian forces gathered. Russia has repeatedly denied targeting civilian areas in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has maintained its attacks with domestic drones locally on the infrastructure inside Russia, which supports Moscow’s war effort. Among other goals, oil refineries have achieved, and the prices of gasoline in the Russian wholesale have reached record levels in recent days.

The Ukrainian General Staff said on Thursday that Ukrainian drones hit the oil refinery in Russia Novoshchitsk in a night attack that caused multiple explosions. Kiev also attacked a fuel base in the Voroniz region in Russia, a drone warehouse and a logistics center in Donetsk, which is occupied by Russia.

Earlier, Zelinski said that Ukraine would hold extensive meetings to gain clarity on the type of support you can expect from the allies. A coalition of more than 30 countries in principle pledged to contribute to security guarantees, but the talks stopped by standing when the United States remained contradictory to its role.

Zelenskyy reiterated that Ukraine is ready to hold direct conversations with Putin. The two leaders have not met personally since late 2019, in a gathering in which many world leaders attended.

“What if the Russians were not ready? The Europeans raised the issue. If the Russians are not ready, we would like to see a strong reaction from the United States,” he said.

Ukraine has previously expressed its hope that the United States will punish Russia with more sanctions if it does not show a serious willingness to end the war.

Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that work on security arrangements in Ukraine without Moscow’s involvement It will not work.
