Russia makes precision strikes at two targets in Ukraine — Defense Ministry

A military air field in Vasilkov and the main electronic intelligence center of the Ukrainian armed forces in Brovary were put out of action

MOSCOW, March 12. /TASS/. Russian precision strikes knocked out a military air field in Vasilkov and a Ukrainian electronic intelligence center in Brovary, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said on Saturday.

"High-precision long-range weapons delivered a strike at Ukraine’s military targets in the morning of March 12," he said. "A military air field in Vasilkov and the main electronic intelligence center of the Ukrainian armed forces in Brovary were put out of action."

On February 24 Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation in response to a request for help by the heads of the Donbass republics. He stressed that Moscow had no plans of occupying Ukrainian territories, but aims to demilitarize and denazify the country. The Russian Defense Ministry said that Russian troops are not targeting Ukrainian cities, but are incapacitating Ukrainian military infrastructure, therefore there are no threats to the civilian population.
