Firefighters put out a fire after two guided bombs hit the Epicentre shopping complex in Kharkiv, Ukraine, Saturday, May 25, 2024. The sign reads 'Garden Centre.' A third bomb failed to detonate when it landed behind the Epicentre shopping complex in Kharkiv. Investigators hope it will help them trace the supply chain for the latest generation of retrofitted Russian "glide bombs" that are laying waste to eastern Ukraine.
Now, Russia is putting the finishing touches on yet another airstrip less than 100 kilometres from Ukraine and launching the bombs routinely from multiple bases just inside Russian borders, according to the AP analysis of satellite pictures and photos from a Russian aviation Telegram channel. At the end of May, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia was launching more than 3,000 of the bombs every month, with 3,200 used in May alone.
The newest airfield, just outside Belgorod, has a 2,000-meter runway, the AP analysis found. Construction began late summer 2023, during the failed Ukrainian counteroffensive. "The greatest strategic advantage Russia has over Ukraine is its advantage in the sky," Zelenskyy said last week. "This is missile and bomb terror that helps Russian troops advance on the ground."
