the Russian army is now targeting the south of the country

Odessa, Ukraine, was attacked by the Russians on the morning of Sunday April 3. “There had been several strikes in recent weeks against Odessa, but this is undoubtedly the most important attack against this city since the start of the war.”, explains Marc de Chalvron, special envoy to Mykolaiv (Ukraine). Oil infrastructure and a fuel depot were targeted.

Thick columns of black smoke rose in the sky over Odessa. “This city in the south of the country is strategic, it is the main access to the Black Sea”, informs Marc de Chalvron. “It is also a Russian-speaking city, of about one million inhabitants, which has a long history intertwined with that of Russia. Enough to wake up the specter of a larger attack”, concludes the journalist.
