Previously, a military expert discussed when to expect the next massive airstrike from Russia against Ukraine.
The opinion was shared by military expert, reserve major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksiy Hetman.
According to him, there are signs of the occupiers preparing for an air attack, but this does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Hetman added that Russia typically requires about a month between attacks to produce the necessary number of missiles they deploy during a massive strike.
