Russia planning ‘prolonged attack’ with Iranian-made drones: Zelenskyy
ISTANBUL (AA) – Russia is planning a prolonged campaign of drone attacks on Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed, urging his forces to remain on high alert.
“We have information that Russia is planning a prolonged attack with Shaheds,” Zelenskyy said in a video address, referring to the Iranian-made drones being used by Moscow in the ongoing war.
“Its bet may be on exhaustion. On exhaustion of our people, our air defense, our energy sector,” he added.
He asserted that Ukraine will do everything to ensure that this offensive “fails like all the others.”
Zelenskyy heaped praise on Ukrainian forces for their efforts, stressing that “everyone involved in the protection of Ukrainian skies should be especially attentive.”
With Russia confirming the loss of 63 soldiers in one of the deadliest Ukrainian attacks on its forces in eastern Donetsk, Zelenskyy said Moscow is facing a desperate need to “mobilize emotions” to make its people believe that “everything is going according to the plan.”
“Our task is to give Ukraine successes, achievements, even small victories every day,” he said.
“Each drone, each missile shot down, each day with electricity for our people, and minimal blackouts are exactly such victories,” he added.
