Russia is evacuating hundreds of children from border areas with Ukraine, which have been the target of bombardments for several days. On Tuesday May 30, 260 projectiles were launched in the Belgorod region. Is this the start of the Ukrainian counter-offensive?
On the night of Tuesday May 30, a drone just fell on the Il’Skii refinery in the Krasnodar region, triggering a gigantic fire. 1,000 kilometers further north, the Belgorod region received no less than 260 mortar and artillery fire on Tuesday 30 May. The Kremlin immediately accused Ukraine of being behind the attacks. A denied version as is systematically the case when Russia is affected.
The frequently targeted Belgorod region
The common point between all the strikes is that it is located in the border areas with Ukraine and particularly targets the Belgorod region, especially last week when soldiers entered Russian territory.
Is there a link with the major Ukrainian counter-offensive announced several weeks ago? “It’s a way of worrying Russia, that’s the Ukrainian strategy”, says General Dominique Trinquand. As a sign of the growing anxiety, 300 children had to be evacuated from their localities, which had been hit several times.
