Russia allegedly planned to bomb Ukraine in early October

President Vladimir Putin said he ordered “massive” long-range strikes after an attack on a bridge linking Russia with the annexed Crimean peninsula, and threatened more strikes in the future if Ukraine touches Russian territory.

“It is simply impossible to leave such documents unanswered,” he said.

Ukrainian military intelligence said the Russian attacks were delivered in early October.

“According to the military intelligence of Ukraine, the Russian occupying forces received instructions from the Kremlin to prepare massive missile strikes on the objects of the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine on October 2 and 3,” the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said in intelligence.

European Parliament President Roberta Metzola told CNN on Monday that the European Union “must and can do more” to help Ukraine by providing more military equipment in light of Russia’s recent escalation.

EU sanctions are “clearly not enough,” she said, calling on member states to unite and provide more weapons, especially tanks, which the Ukrainians have been asking for.

“Ukraine is asking for them, and the European Union has the opportunity to agree on what it gives to Ukraine. I know the senior representatives are working very hard on this. I know that we can do more militarily,” Metzola said.
