There are now over hundred Russian drones in sky over Ukraine, there may be more waves during day, - Zelenskyy
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that there could be more waves of Russian drones throughout the day.
The head of state announced this on Telegram, according to Censor.NET.
What is known?
"There are currently more than a hundred Russian drones in our airspace, and there may be further waves of drone attacks throughout the day. Russia continues its strikes and is doing so brazenly—targeting our railway infrastructure and civilian facilities in cities," the statement reads.
Zelenskyy noted that the Russian strikes have resulted in casualties and fatalities.
"Yesterday, 14 regions came under attack throughout the day. Last night, residential and railway infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions, port infrastructure in the Odesa region, and energy facilities in the Poltava region were targeted. Our soldiers are fighting back at all levels, and 111 drones have already been shot down and neutralized just last night.
It is crucial to steadfastly repel every attack. It is crucial to support Ukraine and not remain silent about the Russian war. Every time the topic of the war disappears from the headlines, it encourages Russia to be even more brutal. It is important that our diplomats implement the agreements we reach at the leadership level as quickly as possible. Ukraine needs the ability to defend itself every day, and this can only be ensured through strong, joint action. Thank you to everyone who is helping!" he concluded.
