The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Western arms shipments delivered to Ukraine are legitimate targets of the Russian army, while US media said that Moscow began targeting western supply lines to Kiev with weapons after the arrival of heavy artillery systems and tanks.
On the other hand, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba described the statement of his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, in which he warned of the danger of a third world war, as a sense from Moscow of defeat in its war on Ukraine.
In parallel with the ongoing battles on several fronts in the east and south, Ukrainian cities were subjected to missile bombardment, whose targets included railway stations and fuel storage in the eastern regions, according to the Ukrainian authorities.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister:
Russia talks about the danger of a third world war, because it has lost hope of intimidating the world from our support.
Russian statements about World War III mean that Moscow is feeling defeat in Ukraine.
Russia loses last hope to scare the world off supporting Ukraine.
Thus the talk of a 'real' danger of WWIII.
This only means Moscow senses defeat in Ukraine.
Therefore, the world must double down on supporting Ukraine so that we prevail and safeguard European and global security.
