Moscow / Kyiv – Ukraine’s military helicopters have allegedly carried out airstrikes over fuel stocks at the Russian border. It is said that the attacks were in the city of Belgorod, about 40 kilometres from the Ukrainian border. Ukraine has avoided providing substantial information about the attack. Russia’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the attack could obstruct the talks between the two countries. Meanwhile, Russian forces gathered in eastern Ukraine and Belarus, and preparations are underway to redesign the campaign, sources in Ukraine claimed. 

The Russian city of Belgorod, just 40 kilometres from the Russian-Ukrainian border, was attacked by an airstrike on Friday early morning. The city oil depot was set on terrific fire in the attack. It is said that more than 200 Russian troops rushed to the scene, and two workers were injured. The Governor of Belgorod, Gladkov, claimed that the attack was carried out by two Ukrainian military helicopters. It is said that MI-24 helicopters were used in the attack.  

Dmitry Peskov,  spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, affirmed it. At the same time, he also slammed that Ukraine should be aware that such attacks will not be conducive to Russia-Ukraine talks. But Ukraine has avoided providing information on the attack on the Russian city. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Dmitry Kuleba, has made a delusive statement that the attack could not be denied and nor confirmed as well. Ukraine’s Defence Ministry also declined to respond.  

Earlier, it had come to the fore that Ukraine had claimed an attack at a Russian missile base. Thereon, the information surfaced those Ukrainian forces had also launched an attack on Russian-backed Donetsk and Luhansk. However, this is believed to be the first case of an attack through the intrusion on a Russian border. 

Meanwhile, it is said that clashes between the Russian military and Ukraine are still underway in the capital Kyiv and the nearby suburbs. A few days ago, it had surfaced that Ukrainian forces had pushed back the Russian troops. However, Russian forces have recaptured some parts of Ukraine, causing heavy damage to Ukraine. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said that Russia has made available another opportunity for citizens of the southern Ukrainian city of Mariupol to evacuate.
