Ukraine’s Zelenskyy warns of explosions at Russian bases
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked those “who oppose the occupiers” only hours after a military facility in occupied Crimea was hit by a series of explosions.
On Tuesday night, he urged Ukrainians to steer clear of Russian military bases and ammunition stores.
He added the explosions could have various causes, including incompetence.
“But they all mean the same thing — the destruction of the occupiers’ logistics, their ammunition, military and other equipment, and command posts, saves the lives of our people,” he said in an evening address.
The Russian Defense Ministry said sabotage was behind the explosions at the military depot in the Dzhankoy region of Crimea, the RIA news agency reported.
Kyiv has not formally confirmed responsibility but if Ukrainian forces were behind the explosions, it would demonstrate that they could carry out covert operations deep behind enemy lines.
Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine and then annexed the territory in 2014. DW.
