KYIV, Ukraine — Russia fired a barrage of dozens of missiles and drones across Ukraine for a second day on Tuesday, including some that Ukraine’s president said were shot down by Western-supplied F-16 fighter jets before they reached their targets.
He thanked Ukraine's supporters for the F-16s but said there were too few of them and too few pilots trained to fly them. The Kursk operation, the largest incursion into Russia since World War II, has forced some 130,000 residents to evacuate their homes. Russia has sent reinforcements into the region, but it was not clear to what extent these movements might be weakening Russia’s positions in Ukrainian territory.
Syrskyi’s claim of territorial control came hours after Ukraine endured a second consecutive barrage of nighttime air and missile attacks from Russia. After Monday's barrage across Ukraine of more than 100 missiles and a similar number of drones, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said"the energy infrastructure has once again become the target of Russian terrorists” and urged Ukraine’s allies to provide it with long-range weapons and permission to use them on targets inside Russia.
