Today, Tuesday, the Russian army continues its 'special military operation' in Ukraine for the 76th day, while the West continues its pressure campaigns in the form of sanctions, military, and material supplies to Ukraine.

On the ground, several large explosions were heard that shook buildings in the Ukrainian city of Odesa. The Ukrainian armed forces announced on Facebook that one person was killed and five others were injured when seven missiles fell on a shopping center and warehouse.

In footage from the scene, firefighters and rescue workers were combing through piles of still-smoky rubble.

In the latest developments, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that Kyiv forces, under the orders of Zelensky and the instructions of American and British advisers, have been trying for days to recover the strategic island of Zmyni in the Black Sea.

The Russian Defense Ministry stated that the Ukrainian forces tried to land their troops on the island. Still, they incurred heavy losses and failed in their endeavors, as the Russian troops on the island thwarted these plans.

"Over the past two days, the Kyiv regime has made several desperate attempts to carry out air and sea landings on the island of Zmyni, which is important to ensure control of the northwestern part of the Black Sea," Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said.

The Ukrainian military has warned that Russia may target the country's chemical industry. The Ukrainian General Staff did not explain the report on Tuesday. Still, it comes after Russia targeted oil depots and other industrial sites during the war.

"We do not rule out the possibility of sabotage at the sites of chemical industries in Ukraine, with the continuing accusations of units of the Ukrainian armed forces," the military said.

Yesterday, US President Joe Biden signed a decree to speed up sending military aid to Ukraine, signed the Defense Lease Act to help Ukraine, and called on European countries to unite in supporting Ukraine militarily in the face of Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, for his part, described the signing of the US law as a "historic step." He added that his army would defend democracy in Ukraine and Europe.

The Russian Deputy Prime Minister, Yuri Borisov, announced that Russia has sufficient high-precision missiles and ammunition to carry out all the tasks before the Russian forces.

He noted that all types of high-precision Russian weapons confirmed their combat advantages during the conflict in Ukraine.

"The military-industrial complex supplies our army with all the necessary missiles in the required quantities," he told Interfax.
