After massive Russian strikes in Ukraine, Russia admits to being in'state of war' Five people died in nighttime Russian strikes that heavily targeted Ukraine on Friday. Moscow has even admitted to being “in a state of war” while the Kremlin has repressed the use of the word “war” with fines and prison sentences since February 2022.
The Kremlin has long assured that the war would not affect their lives or the country's territory, but these attacks have increased as the presidential election approaches.
