This base is 15 miles from the Polish border. Fighting intensified in other parts of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>From Reuters:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The attack on the Yavoriv International Centre for Peacekeeping and Security, a base just 15 miles (25 km) from the Polish border that has previously hosted NATO military instructors, came a day after Russia&#8217;s deputy foreign minister warned convoys of Western arms shipments to Ukraine could be considered legitimate targets.<\/p>\n<p>Regional governor Maksym Kozytskyy said Russian planes fired around 30 rockets at the facility, adding that some were intercepted before they hit. At least 35 people were killed and 134 wounded, he said. Reuters was not able to verify his statement.<\/p>\n<p>The 360-square km (140-square mile) facility is one of Ukraine&#8217;s biggest and is the largest in the western part of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Nineteen ambulances with sirens on were seen by Reuters driving from the direction of the Yavoriv base and black smoke rose from the area.<\/p>\n<p>Britain said the incident marked a &#8220;significant escalation&#8221; of the conflict. U.S. President Joe Biden has said NATO would defend every inch of its territory if Russia&#8217;s invasion spills over into member states of the Western defence alliance.<\/p>\n<p>The Kremlin did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the reported missile strike so close to the border with NATO, and a short video briefing by Russia&#8217;s defence ministry spokesman on Sunday made no mention of such an attack.<\/p>\n<p>While Western nations have sought to isolate Russian President Vladimir Putin by imposing harsh sanctions, the United States and its allies are concerned to avoid NATO being drawn into the conflict. &#8220;There are no NATO personnel in Ukraine,&#8221; the NATO official said, when asked if any NATO personnel were at the base.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Reuters has more details at this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/ukraines-zelenskiy-warns-desolation-if-russia-tries-take-kyiv-2022-03-13\/\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A military base where the Ukrainian military trained with western militaries suffered Russian bombing attacks.
