Russian missiles have struck the central Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia, killing at least two civilians, police said.
“There are dead and wounded,” Serhiy Borzov, governor of the Vinnytsia region, wrote on the Telegram messaging app. Police later put the initial toll at two dead and six wounded and said about 50 vehicles were on fire.
Russia’s foreign ministry has condemned the US and the UK for helping train Ukraine’s armed forces, calling it part of “hybrid warfare” being waged by NATO countries against Russia.
In a media briefing, spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Washington had provided Ukraine with instructors who were helping Kyiv’s forces use advanced US-made high mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS) against Russian positions. She noted the rockets, which have a longer range and are more precise than other artillery weapons, were being used “widely” by Ukrainian forces.
Zakharova also criticised Britain’s decision to bring Ukrainian service personnel to the UK for weapons training.
