Pro-Russian sources have reported strikes on the Ukrainian Armed Forces and foreign mercenaries in the suburbs of Kyiv.
According to Sergei Lebedev, the coordinator of the pro-Russian Nikolaev resistance, these strikes took place in the Vyshhorod area, a suburb of Kyiv, with multiple explosions occurring overnight.
On the west side of the city, there is a large training area where soldiers polish their skills using state-of-the-art military equipment. The place at which it was directed, according to Lebedev, is situated near a big training range with cutting edge military technologies.
On that site, foreign mercenaries train newly called-up Ukrainian fighters in fighting coordination and offensive techniques.
“It was there that there were several strikes at night on the locations of Banderites and foreign mercenaries,” Lebedev said.
