On Friday, February 20, 2026, Ukraine launched a missile strike on a ballistic missile factory in Votkinsk, Udmurtia, Russia, targeting facilities producing Iskander and Topol-M missiles. This attack, reportedly using Flamingo missiles, occurred as the war approaches its fourth anniversary. Simultaneously, Russian forces claimed control of the village of Karpivka in the Donetsk region, while Ukrainian drones were reported to be targeting production facilities in Almetievsk, Tatarstan. In Paris, approximately one thousand people gathered to express continued support for Ukraine, with speakers criticizing a perceived "music of renunciation" within French politics. The conflict, which began with Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, has resulted in significant casualties and displacement, with Russia currently occupying nearly 20% of Ukrainian territory.
