russian airfield strike: Ukraine comments on another explosion at Engels airport

The explosions at night, December 26, at the russian military airfield in Engels are an objective consequence of the russian federation's war against Ukraine, as well as the loss of control over processes within russia.

The adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Mykhailo Podolyak, stated this, commenting on the explosions at the russian military facility on the broadcast of the Yedyny Novyni marathon.

The adviser did not directly name who was behind the "strikes." At the same time, he pointed to the fault of the russians.

"Everything that is happening in the russian federation today – the number of incidents, and not only in Engels, is increasing – is related to russia losing control over the processes," the OP representative emphasized.

Podoliak stressed that the number of sabotages, unidentified detonations, fires at critical facilities, etc., is increasing on the territory of the aggressor country.

The official also added that fires could occur for other reasons. In particular, because russia cannot obtain the necessary foreign spare parts and specialist consultations.
