Damaged critical infrastructure could lead to a humanitarian crisis in Ukraine as a frigid winter looms.
Russia blamed the strikes on Ukrainian forces, with the most recent one hitting an oil tanker on an airfield in Kursk. Russia officials said there were two explosions Monday—one at the Engels airfield in the Saratov region and another involving an engulfed fuel truck at the Dyagilevo airfield near the city of Ryazan. Ryazan is southeast of Moscow, while Saratov is about 373 miles from Ukraine.
During a meeting of NATO foreign ministers on November 29 in Bucharest, Romania, Latvian Foreign Affairs Minister Edgars Rinkēvičs saiddue to Russia targeting critical Ukrainian infrastructure. "We should allow Ukrainians to use weapons to target missile sites or airfields from where those operations are being launched," Rinkēvičs toldNATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics in a combination image. About a week after Rinkevics said Ukraine should attack inside Russia's border, Russian airfields have been targeted by drones believed to belong to Ukraine.
