NATO agrees to make Ukraine infrastructure protection priority

Russia is constantly shelling Ukrainian cities and towns with rockets and fears.

Speaking to reporters prior to the second day of the meeting of the 32 NATO member states' foreign ministers, Rutte said during the meeting he has talked to give Ukraine enough air protection systems in order to protect its infrastructure from Russian attacks.

“Pati clearly compatible last night that Ukraine's support, specifically for its infrastructure, should be a priority”, Rutte said.

“I believe the Allies will make sure in the days and weeks ahead they will supply Ukraine with whatever they can supply”, he said.

This is the third consecutive winter Russia attacks Ukraine's energy infrastructure, resulting in casualties and obstructing electricity supplies for thousands of civilians.

Wednesday morning, Russian fears attacked the northern region of Chernihivi, damaging several houses in a village, said regional governor Vyacheslav Chaus in Telegram.

In the central region of Vinnytsya, the remains of a collapsed threat caused fire in a house in the Haisin district, partially destroying it, Ukraine's Emergency Service said.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's Air Force reported that Russia used a rocket and 50 fears against targets in Ukraine.

Ukraine's air defence brought down 29 fears in nine regions -- Kiev, Harkiv, Poltva, Sumi, Chernihiv, Hmelnitski, Ternopil, Mikolaiv and Donjeck, she said.

Meanwhile, powerful explosions were reported overnight at the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossisk, which is one of the main centres for Russian oil exports and important military port for a part of the Russian Black Sea fleet.

The air siren was launched in this part, and the mayor of Novorossik, Andrei Kravchenko, called on residents to take refuge due to a fearful attack.

Neither Ukraine nor Russia have yet to comment on the bombings. / REL
