The Russian military confirmed missile attacks on fuel depots on Lviv, the largest city in western Ukraine, claiming it had targeted fuel supplies for Ukrainian troops.
"On March 26, high-precision long-range air-based weapons destroyed a large fuel base near the city of LVIV, which provided fuel to Ukrainian troops in the western regions of Ukraine, as well as near Kiev," Russian Ministry of Defense spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said in a briefing Sunday.
Konashenkov added that “the workshops of the Lviv Aircraft Repair Plant were destroyed by high-precision cruise missiles in the city of Lviv.”
“This enterprise carried out major repairs and modernization of anti-aircraft missile systems ‘Tor’ and S-125, radar stations for the Air Force of Ukraine, electronic warfare equipment and sights for tanks,” he said. (ILKHA)
