Air raid sirens have been sounded in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions of Ukraine, which are located on the border with Russia. This information is based on data from the official resource for alerting the population, as reported by TASS.
On March 18, these regions were repeatedly in the red zone. The sirens sounded in these regions at 9:51 and 9:52 Moscow time (8:51 and 8:52 local time). In the Kharkiv region, air raid alerts have been sounded for the fourth time in one day.
Prior to this, there were further explosions in Kremenchuk, Poltava region of Ukraine.
Russian military forces began targeting Ukrainian infrastructure since October 2022, shortly after the explosion on the Crimean Bridge. Since then, air raid alerts have been regularly declared in various regions of Ukraine, often throughout the entire country. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the attacks are carried out on objects in the energy sector, defense industry, military command, and communication.
Earlier, Ukraine set conditions for negotiations with Russia.
