This is coming after “Russian drone attacks have caused damage and casualties in various districts of Kyiv.”
The Ukrainian President begged for “capability to destroy “Shahed” storage bases as well as the entire infrastructure for their production and logistics”, as he expressed his deep gratitude “to our defenders of the skies who have been successfully shooting down “Shahed” drones ever”.
According to President Zelenskyy: “The constant terrorist attacks on Ukrainian cities prove that the pressure on Russia and its accomplices is insufficient. Since 4 a.m. today, air raid alerts have been ongoing across Ukrainian cities.
Tragically, the Russian drone attacks have caused damage and casualties in various districts of Kyiv, with additional strikes and damage reported in the Poltava, Sumy, and Kharkiv regions.
I am deeply grateful to our defenders of the skies who have been successfully shooting down “Shahed” drones ever. This year, we have faced the threat of “Shahed” drones almost every night—sometimes in the morning, and even during the day. These strike UAVs, supplied to Russia by Iran, have become one of the primary instruments of Russian terror against Ukraine.
More pressure is urgently needed to limit Russia’s ability to produce such weapons. We require the capability to destroy “Shahed” storage bases as well as the entire infrastructure for their production and logistics. Unfortunately, the terrorists know how to take advantage of the time granted to them by the indecision of the free world.”
