The Russians launched a missile strike in the Odessa region/State Emergency Service in the Odessa region
After Joe Biden signed the law on lend-lease for Ukraine, the Russian occupiers attacked Odessa with missiles. However, Russia did not take revenge on the city for signing this document.
Sergey Bratchuk, speaker of the Odessa Regional Military Administration, told Channel 24 about this. Most likely, the evening attack of the invaders was a coincidence, because in order to lift the plane into the air, the enemy attracted strategic aviation, and this takes time.
“However, “in the swamps” they love symbolism very much, and we have already talked a lot about this and will continue to talk about it. I think that Odessa was not avenged for Lend-Lease,” the OVA speaker said.
Reference. US President Joe Biden on May 9 signed the law on Lend-Lease for Ukraine. The House of Representatives of the US Congress adopted the document on April 28.
Why the invaders attacked Odessa
According to Bratchuk, the Russians took revenge on Odessa and, unfortunately, are still taking revenge for some time , because the locals proved that the city was, is and will be Ukrainian. The inhabitants of Odessa decided on this a long time ago.
Yesterday (May 9 – Channel 24), it seems to me, the bullet point has finally been put in Russia's imperial ambitions. Odessa threw back this blanket of the “Russian measure” from itself, if someone else dreamed about it, well, perhaps at the household level. However, this is becoming less and less, – said the press secretary of the UVA.
What is known about other attacks
As Bratchuk said, on the night of May 9, the Russians hoped to conduct aerial reconnaissance in the Odessa region, so they launched the Orlan-10 drone. However, the Ukrainian military destroyed it.
Already in the morning, the occupiers launched 4 rockets in the Odessa region. As a result, an infrastructure facility was damaged.
By the way, the head of the Council of Europe, Charles Michel, along with Denis Shmigal, had to hide under these alarms. Well, our prime minister is understandable that he has already felt it himself, and a European high-ranking official, perhaps for the first time, felt what a war between Russia and Ukraine is like, – the OVA speaker noted.
Already in the afternoon in Odessa there were shelling of the occupiers again. 3 enemy missiles flew to the Black Sea coast. As a result, a tourist site was destroyed.
“Well, 7 rockets – what happened on May 9 is the worst thing, because a person died. There are also at least 5 injured people. It flew to a shopping center. It was simply destroyed “, Bratchuk added.
