Russia's latest missile strikes on critical infrastructure
across Ukraine have not affected the country’s ability to receive military
support as aid continues to flow in.
This was stated by Pentagon spokesman John Kirby at a
Wednesday briefing, Ukrinform's own correspondent reports.
Noting that the Russians have hit critical infrastructure
targets in the west of Ukraine, including power substations, transportation
hubs, and other facilities, Kirby said the U.S. sees the attacks as an attempt
to undermine Ukraine's ability to rebuild its forces.
He assured that despite such strikes, the United States
retains every opportunity to supply military assistance, including weapons
systems. According to Kirby, the United States and other Western partners of
Ukraine have multiple ways to transport the necessary aid to Ukraine.

response "will be significant"
"We know that material – those weapons, those supplies
– are getting into Ukrainian hands” said Kirby.
He added that the U.S. is constantly changing the ways it
delivers lethal aid to Ukraine.
“Those ways change as they must,” Kirby said. “There’s
redundancy built into the process.”
As Ukrinform reported, about 250,000 people were left
without electricity as a result of missile strikes launched by Russians on Lviv
region on the evening of May 3. The leaders of the region and city stressed
that the enemy was deliberately hitting supply chains, in particular, those for
humanitarian goods from the west to the east of Ukraine.
On Wednesday, May 4, the enemy struck at Kharkiv, Dnipro,
and Cherkasy. Besides, reports came of a series of explosions in Mykolaiv and
Brovary district, Kyiv region.
