The spokesman of the Air Force of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat said that the explosions at the Russian military airfield

"Engels"

are the consequences of Russian aggression.   

He said this on the air of the national telethon.

"Of course, these are the consequences of Russian aggression. This is another "cotton" that we are already used to hearing. These are the consequences of what Russia is doing on our land. If the Russians thought that the war would not affect them deep in the rear, then they were wrong. Such things are happening more and more often, and we hope that this will only benefit Ukraine," he said.

So, according to him, satellite images from the airfield will appear in a few days, so it will be possible to assess the real consequences of the explosions.
