The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky, has urged Ukrainian residents in Crimea – and the Donbas and Kharkov regions – to stay away from Russian military installations due to the latest explosions in the area.

“Please, do not go near the military installations of the Russian Army and all those places where they store ammunition and equipment, where they have their headquarters,” Zelensky asked, after demanding that his citizens “be very careful.”

These concerns are due to the latest attacks that have occurred on the territory of Crimea. “All (the explosions) have the same meaning: the destruction of the logistics of the occupants, their ammunition, military equipment (…), command posts,” explained the Ukrainian president.

In this way, Zelensky has expressed that these measures are a way to end the war. “The fewer opportunities the occupiers have to do evil and kill Ukrainians, the sooner we can end this war by liberating our land,” he said.

This attack caused injuries to two people, one of them by shrapnel and the second by a wall that fell on him as a result of the explosion.
