Attack on Mukachevo

Recall that yesterday, Russian forces struck Mukachevo in the Zakarpattia region.

Among the affected sites was the “Flextronics” factory belonging to the American company Flex International, a leading global electronics manufacturer.

The Information Countermeasures Center noted that there is no military rationale for these attacks; they are merely attempts to intimidate the population and prolong the war.

Meanwhile, as of the evening of August 21, the number of injured from the Russian strike on the Flex factory in Mukachevo has risen to 23.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban commented on the Russian missile attack on Mukachevo on August 21 but “forgot” to condemn the fact that the attack was indeed Russian.
