Russia targets anti-missile systems in Ukraine, more control in Donbas
July 8 (UPI) -- The Russian military said on Friday that it's destroyed two Harpoon anti-missile systems that were given to Ukraine by Britain, denying Kyiv an important tool it needs to resist Russian attacks across the war-torn nation.
Moscow said that it destroyed the systems in the southern Odesa region, where Ukraine had mounted an insurgency in some locations that were captured by Russia -- and Russian forces have been targeting grain hangars.
For weeks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pleaded with Western allies to aid in the war effort by providing military equipment and aid. Many countries, including the United States, have given billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine since the fighting began in February.
Russian forces recently have been making key gains in various parts of Ukraine -- particularly in the Donbas, in the eastern sector of the country, where Moscow's military has captured several key cities like Severodonetsk and Mariupol. The Donbas is comprised of two regions, Donetsk and Luhansk.

Of course they wouldn't lie. Right?
