Last night, Russia attacked Ukraine and launched a record number of attack drones – 188 drones. This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reports "Komersant Ukrainian".
“I thank our defenders of the sky for repelling the attack: about 80 drones were shot down, more than 90 were lost locally,” the Ukrainian leader said.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy clarified that the night attack resulted in damage to critical infrastructure. In particular, the situation in Ternopil is difficult. All services and repair teams are on the ground, working and helping people. The main task is to restore electricity supply as soon as possible.
The President of Ukraine also emphasized that each of the drones used by Russia to attack Ukraine had at least 85 foreign components. This is almost 16,000 components without which they would not fly.
“Such attacks are possible only because the perpetrator circumvents sanctions, Russia circumvents sanctions through various schemes. We need to work together more to make the sanctions work and force Russia to stop this war. We must stop Russian aggression,” Zelensky emphasized.
