Russia launched air strikes on Ukraine every hour in May - US State Department

This was reported by the US State Department.

"Since May 1, Russia launched more than 145 airstrikes across Ukraine. That means Russia has launched more than one missile, drone, or bomb every hour, 24 hours a day, four days straight," the statement said.

State Department spokesman Vedant Patel reminded that on May 3, the United States announced an additional $300 million in security assistance to Ukraine.

• The Russian Ministry of Defense is actively informing about missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine to reduce the level of concern about the upcoming Ukrainian counteroffensive.
