Russia is attacking Ukraine from 40 airfields

The Air Force reported that Russia is launching missiles at Ukraine from 40 airfields.

The spokesperson of the department believes that in order for the missile attacks to stop, Ukraine needs to have long-range weapons.

We are talking about airfields in the occupied Crimea, in Belarus, as well as in Russia.

Each airfield can accommodate certain types of aircraft. 

Since October 10, Russia has been massively shelling Ukraine's energy infrastructure in order to leave Ukrainians without heat and electricity during severe frosts.
