March 2022 infrastructure attacks

On 6 March 2022, Russian Navy launched rocket strikes against the Havryshivka Vinnytsia International Airport. According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, eight rockets launched by Russia destroyed the infrastructure of Vinnytsia airport located in central Ukraine.[9][10] Satellite imagery showed two buildings ruined, as well as one aircraft destroyed.[11] Ten people were killed in the strike and six injured.[12][13][14] There were claims that the missiles were fired from Transnistria, a Russian-backed breakaway state internationally recognized as part of Moldova geographically close to the city. However, Moldovan officials denied this and declared that they had been launched from Russian ships in the Black Sea.[15]

The Vinnytsia TV Mast was hit by Russian rocket fire on 16 March 2022, knocking out the city's broadcasting abilities.[16][17]

On 25 March 2022, Russian forces launched an

Command Centre located in Vinnytsia, Ukraine.[18] The airstrike consisted of six cruise missiles, that caused significant destruction to the infrastructure.[19]

July 2022 rocket attack on the city centre

At about 10:10 AM on 14 July 2022, an air raid alarm sounded in the city. At approximately 10:42 local residents reported three explosions in the city. Before that, local residents noticed a missile flying over

He also mentioned the European Union's decision to grant candidate status to both Moldova and Ukraine and talked about the need for both countries to work together.[40]

Days after the 14 July bombing, at the site of four-year-old Liza Dmitrieva's death, an impromptu memorial for her was created to which flowers and children's toys were laid.[41] The video with Liza was shown on 20 July, in the US Congress.[42]

About the July 2022 attack, Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Russian state-controlled media, said the building was attacked because it housed "Nazis".[7]
