Kyiv, It’s been 68 days since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. On the 68th day of the war, both the countries have claimed to have launched a major attack on each other. The Ukrainian military has claimed that one of its drones has targeted and destroyed two Russian Raptor-class boats in the Black Sea. It has also claimed that more than 24 thousand Russian soldiers have died in the war so far. General Valery Gerasimov, one of the two most trusted army chiefs of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is reported to have been badly injured. Putin had posted him on the Kharkiv front with the aim of achieving quick success.
Russia, on the other hand, has claimed that it attacked 800 targets in Ukraine in one day on Sunday. Meanwhile, Erestovich, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, has claimed that Russian Major General Andrei Simonov also died on the Kharkiv front. So far nine top Russian commanders have been killed in Ukraine. Meanwhile, there is news that after the military occupation of Kherson, the Russian army is making massive economic changes here and the Russian currency ruble is being used.
According to a confidential report of the UK Defense Ministry, the Russian army is adopting this strategy to justify its occupation there. However, Jill Biden, wife of US President Joe Biden, will visit Romania and Slovakia this week amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. She will meet Ukrainian families displaced after the Russian attack. On the other hand, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has announced that the war will not stop before Russia’s Victory Day, ie May 9. The war will go on anyway.
