Yes how long can they keep that up?
I wish a Reporter from a news media confirm
the real Truth?


[The war in Ukraine began with Crimea
and must end with its liberation,
President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
Ukraine's president was speaking after
a string of explosions hit a
Russian airbase there, killing one person.
Mr Zelensky did not mention Tuesday's
blasts but said: "Crimea is Ukrainian
and we will never give it up."
Russia's defence ministry said
ammunition detonated at the base.
Meanwhile, Ukraine denied any
responsibility for the explosions.


In a separate development,
Ukrainian officials say 13 people were
killed in overnight Russian strikes
in the central Dnipropetrovsk region,
and another one in the
Zaporizhzhia region in the south.

Crimea is internationally recognised
as part of Ukraine - but the
Black Sea peninsula was annexed by
Russia in 2014 after a referendum
which the global community sees
as illegitimate. Many Ukrainians
see this as the start of their war with Russia.

On Tuesday, a series of explosions
rocked the Saky military
base near Novofedorivka,
in the west of Crimea - which is
near seaside resorts popular
with Russian tourists.]
