"Every day, our Air Defense repels enemy attacks using conventional drones, but there are also combined, large-scale attacks. There were 14 of them during the winter," said Ignat.

According to him, the enemy’s primary targets are critical infrastructure facilities—the energy, gas, and oil sectors, as well as certain industrial enterprises. However, civilian facilities are often hit as well, and people are injured or killed.
