An intelligence update posted to the Ministry’s Twitter on Sunday said “Russian naval forces have established a distant blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea coast, effectively isolating Ukraine from international maritime trade.”

Meanwhile the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned Russia’s attack near Ukraine’s border with Poland early Sunday, calling for the “brutality” to stop as war inches closer to NATO’s doorstep.

The Russian bombardments have continued unabated despite efforts by world leaders and the United Nations General Assembly to dissuade Vladimir Putin from the attack in Ukraine.

“We condemn the Russian Federation’s missile attack on the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security in Yavoriv, close to Ukraine’s border with Poland,” Blinken tweeted Sunday.

Thirty-five people were killed and 134 injured after more than 30 missiles were fired at a military base early Sunday morning.

The International Peacekeeping and Security Center is a huge military base that includes a training center for soldiers, and has housed US and NATO forces in the past reports from top media outlets indicated.
