Source: Kyiv Post

Drone strikes were reported overnight on March 26-27 in Cherepovets, Russia, where the Apatit chemical plant and Severstal steel and mining company were said to be hit.

The Ukrainian monitoring channel Exilenova+ claimed on Friday morning that a furnace was on fire at Severstal. Footage shared online appears to show the extent of the fire and a drone flying over Cherepovets.

Open-source analyst said that drones were striking the Apatit chemical plant in Cherepovets and at least one Russian air defense missile was engaged in repelling the attack. The same source showed videos of explosions from the attack.

Cherepovets is located approximately 435 kilometers (270 miles) east of St. Petersburg and more than 800 kilometers (500 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

If Trump would not have cut off support for Ukraine and passed and signed the tougher sanctions against Russia , this war might have been over by now. They always project and gaslight, don't they?

Russia on fire, but Putin refuses to give up.

Here's hoping that Orban loses in Hungary.
