(ANSA-AFP) - KYIV, MAR 6 - Ukraine stepped up attacks behind
Russian lines on Wednesday with the apparent killing of a
Russian election official in a car bomb and a drone assault on a
metals plant. Strikes also rocked the Ukrainian port city of
Odesa during a visit by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos
Mitsotakis, who was holding talks in the city with Ukrainian
President Volodymyr Zelensky. Both Russia and Ukraine have
increased their aerial attacks as Moscow's troops advance on the
frontlines and Kyiv faces a shortage of manpower and weapons.
"We heard the sound of sirens and explosions that took place
near us. We did not have time to get to a shelter. It is a very
intense experience," Mitsotakis said through a translator in
Odesa. Zelensky said the strike had left "dead and wounded", but
he did not have figures. (ANSA-AFP).
