Marcy Kaptur, Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, believes that the strike Ukraine launched at Russian military airfields was long overdue.
As reported by Ukrinform, she wrote this on social platform X in response to the special operation codenamed ‘Pavutyna’ (‘Spiderweb’).
“For the continuing horror Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has exacted on the people and free nation of Ukraine, this multiple strike by Ukrainian drones on key Russian military air field assets is long overdue,” the congresswoman stated.
As Ukrinform reported, on June 1, the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) conducted a unique special operation called ‘Spiderweb’, during which it struck four Russian airfields: Belaya, Dyagilevo, Olenya, and Ivanovo.
As a result of the operation, over 40 enemy aircraft were hit, including A-50 surveillance planes, Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers. The estimated value of the destroyed assets is around $7 billion.
