Former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Colonel Douglas MacGregor, said that the Russian side destroyed important but vulnerable targets near Kyiv with missile strikes. "Near Kyiv, the Russians hit very important vulnerabilities, smashing them to smithereens.

If you came across any videos from there, you probably watched quite strong explosions," he said. McGregor clarified that he believes that almost all missile strikes fell on warehouses where ammunition was stored, including Western StormShadow and Patriot missiles. Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry said that all objects that theRussian Armed Forces attacked at night with high-precision air- and sea-based weapons were hit.
