Russia says it destroyed weapons delivered by US and EU to Ukraine

Ukraine alleges that Russia targeted both military and residential targets.

    Russia says it destroyed western weapons delivered to Ukraine.

In a statement published by Moscow on Saturday, Russian forces have destroyed a logistics station in Odessa that stored a significant amount of foreign equipment as part of their ongoing military offensive in Ukraine. Municipal officials, on the other hand, said that their air defense group destroyed two missiles but that another four-hit a military target and residential buildings, resulting in deaths.

It was unclear whether the residential structures were destroyed by Ukrainian soldiers attempting to shoot down missiles aiming at a military objective.

According to Russian military spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov, "high-precision long-range air-launched missiles" struck a logistics terminal on a military airfield near Odessa in the afternoon, where "a large batch of foreign weapons received from the United States and European countries was stored."

Russia has frequently cautioned NATO against supplying armaments to Ukraine, and has declared that munitions convoys would be considered valid military targets.

According to the press office of Ukraine's South Air Command, the air defense group destroyed two cruise missiles allegedly launched from the Caspian Sea by Russian TU-95 strategic aircraft, as well as two operational-tactical level UAVs that "presumably corrected the flight of cruise missiles and placed active obstacles to air defenses" on Saturday.

“Unfortunately, 2 missiles hit a military facility and 2 {hit} residential buildings,” the Ukrainian military claimed.

Since the start of Russia's military operation in Ukraine, Moscow and Kiev have accused one other of war crimes, targeting civilians, impeding evacuations, and violating international law. Several rounds of peace talks have failed to produce meaningful results.

Russia advanced into the neighboring state in late February, following Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, first signed in 2014, and Moscow’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.
