Since Russia launched airstrikes on Ukraine, tensions in the region have escalated. According to the latest reports, at least three people have been killed and 14 injured in the airstrike. Ukraine's air force said it managed to shoot down 92 of the 151 missiles and drones launched by Russia. This is considered the largest attack on energy infrastructure since the beginning of the war.
During this airstrike, Russia carried out missile bombardment of Ukraine at night, firing 16 missiles and 11 drones. The Ukrainian Air Force announced that it had successfully shot down 9 of these drones and 9 missiles. Russia has recently intensified its airstrikes on Ukraine's energy facilities, causing severe damage.
Ukraine is also not showing weakness, they have carried out a massive attack on Russia. According to reports, Ukrainian forces attacked the Russian Morozovsk airbase in Rostov Oblast, destroying 6 Russian military aircraft.
The occurrence of this series of events has made the international community's attention to this region continue to heat up. NATO is also ready for a possible direct conflict with Russia. This is despite the fact that at the moment there are no NATO troops in Ukraine, and NATO has no plans to send troops to Ukraine. However, if a NATO country decides to send troops alone, it should understand that such a decision will concern the rest of NATO and should ensure that NATO countries have prior collective consultations on the relevant decisions.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has made the situation in the region full of uncertainty and danger. And the potential involvement of NATO adds even more variables to the situation. In the future, the development of this region will continue to receive extensive attention from the international community.
