The targeted base, some 11 miles from the Polish border, was used before the war for the training of Ukrainian troops by NATO forces, and is now a logistical hub and training center for arriving foreign volunteers.
Bringing the war closer to NATO territory, Russian fighter jets fired dozens of missiles Sunday at a Ukrainian military training base near the border with Poland, killing at least 35 people, injuring 134 others and rattling nerves in western Ukraine’s largest city.
Russia offered its own version of the strike, with its Defense Ministry claiming a far higher death toll — 180 — and saying the attack was aimed at foreign weaponry and “foreign mercenaries.” The two sides’ conflicting casualty claims could not be immediately reconciled. Lviv residents were told to turn on radios for news updates, and switch off gas and electrical connections to prevent fires. Some people hurried back to their homes or to other shelter when the sirens sounded, though many continued taking their morning coffee in the open air, or walking about on the cobblestoned streets of the city center.
Russian attacks on healthcare facilities are being singled out for particular condemnation. Three U.N. agencies issued a joint statement calling attacks on health infrastructure, patients and personnel “horrific” and “an act of unconscionable cruelty.” The fighting has spurred an enormous refugee exodus, with more than 2.6 million people, mainly women and children, fleeing to neighboring countries. More than 1.5 million have arrived in Poland, which has appealed for more international help in caring for them.Anxiety grows in Poland, where many fear Russia is on a dangerous expansionist path. History shows the Poles have every reason to be afraid.
Previewing that encounter, Sullivan said in his CNN interview that Beijing has already been told “directly, privately” that the United States would not “allow there to be a lifeline” to Russia from any country to help it evade sanctions. NATO forces are not involved in fighting inside Ukraine, and the Biden administration is resolutely avoiding steps that could spark direct confrontation with Russian forces, such as a no-fly zone that Zelensky has repeatedly pleaded be created.
