Location at a glance: WadePhul warns of Russia – massive attacks on Ukraine warn

According to media reports, Ukraine has again become the goal of massive Russian attacks at night. All over the country, there had been air alarm, also in regions far from the front line in the west of Ukraine, reported “The Kyiv Independent”. Injuries and damage were reported. In the evening, the Air Force had already warned of drone attacks in the majority of the country. Federal Foreign Minister Johann WadePhul (CDU), meanwhile, also sees life in Germany directly threatened with the Russian attack war.

Five percent goal is “right and necessary”

The danger to Germany by Russia should not be underestimated, warned WadePhul in the newspapers of the Funke media group. “Russia also threatens our life in peace and freedom in Germany.” The Russian attack war against Ukraine is and remains the greatest threat to security in Europe and the most important topic of German foreign policy.

The NATO resolutions from Den Haag – Allianz agreed to increase defense expenditure to five percent of the economic output – were “correct and necessary,” said WadePhul. Russian President Vladimir Putin “with indiscriminately bomb terror, the morals of the Ukrainians. Freedom of Ukraine is the most important test stone of our steadfastness as a European.”

Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) also warned of a false feeling of security in Germany with a view to Russia on Saturday. When visiting the Bundeswehr’s operational management command in Schwielowsee, he pointed out the continued Russian war of aggression and said: “So we must not accept our security as given. We have to do more that we can live in freedom, in peace and safe.”

Attacks this time also in the West

In the late evening, explosions could already be heard in Ukrainian capital Kyiv. The majority of the Russian combat drones should have flew west to military observers.

In the evening, according to the “The Kyiv Independent”, the Ukrainian Air Force had warned of bombers and drones that Russia sent to different regions. There were explosions and impacts in Saporischschja, Lwiw, Iwano-Frankiwsk and the Tscherkassy region.

According to reports, the governor reported at least three injuries and damage to civil infrastructure in the Tscherkassy region. The reports also existed in other areas. “The Kyiv Independent” reported, for example, about a fire after an impact in the Central Lucrainian Krementschuk.

Poland activates air defense

Coating on the Polish armed forces, the reports said that in response to the attacks in the west of the neighboring country – which borders on Poland there – fighter jets were raised and the air defense was activated from the ground.

Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian attack war for more than three years. Russia has drastically strengthened its attacks on the neighboring country in recent weeks.
