Just a day after Ukrainian officials said they had regained control of Snake Island, Russia attacked Odesa.
Russia's exit from Snake Island was expected to lower the threat to Odesa, which is 80 miles away.
The tactic of Russia iserror. First, they cover their criminal actions with an act of goodwill, and then launch rocket attacks on our peaceful cities, according to Tymoshenko.
The Ukrainian Navy said it had regained control of Snake Island. The small Black Sea outpost attained near-mythical status in Ukranian after troops stationed on the island refused to surrender to the Russian Navy with a defiant radio message. Russia acknowledged its exit from Snake Island but said it was a goodwill gesture to allow the export of Ukrainian grains. As Russia pushes to take control of the entire Donbas region in the country's east, it launched a missile strike on Friday. At least 19 people were killed when Russian missiles hit a crowded shopping mall in the city of Kremenchuck. Zelensky said the strike was one of the most defiant terrorist attacks in European history and appealed to the US to label Russia a state sponsor of terrorism. The G-7 group of nations called the strike on the mallabominable and added that Putin should face justice for committing war crimes.
