Today is definitely not the final. We are charged and we continue. This is not football for you
Thus, the Russian agency effectively declared the continuation of strikes on Ukraine, using a sports metaphor for this purpose.
It is worth noting that earlier Russia regularly accompanied reports of attacks against Ukraine with propaganda statements and threats of new strikes.
Context
On the night of July 19, Russian troops carried out another attack on Ukraine, including on Kyiv and other populated areas. Explosions and the work of air defense forces were reported in several regions. As a result of the enemy attack, consequences of falling debris, damage to civilian infrastructure, and fires were recorded.
Information about the consequences of the night strike, the number of downed aerial targets, and possible casualties is still changing and being clarified.
Russia itself continues its full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine, regularly launching missile and drone strikes on civilian and critical infrastructure. Despite Russian statements about readiness for negotiations, its troops continue shelling Ukrainian cities.
Reminder
In Kharkiv alone on July 19, the number of victims of the Russian shelling increased to 20. And three people suffered serious injuries and died from this.
