Russia said it deployed a large number of strikes against Ukranian assets overnight, reaching hundreds of targets, including what was described as a logistics base containing large numbers of Western-provided weapons.
In a statement on April 18, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that air-launched missiles destroyed 16 Ukrainian military facilities, including command posts, ammunition warehouses, and a fuel depot in the regions of Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Dnipropetrovsk.
Ministry of Defense spokesman Igor Konashenkov later told state-run media that a Russian strike at a logistics facility in the western Ukraine city of Lviv destroyed a large number of weapons provided by the United States and European allies.
