The sky has become a major battleground between Ukraine and Russia. The army of Kiev announces the downing of 9 drones and a missile in the last hours that were launched by the troops of Moscow. On the other hand, Russia claims to have destroyed 3 Ukrainian drones at the gates of St. Petersburg.
The Ministry of Defense points out that in the last few hours alone, another 36 drones launched by the Kiev army to the border regions have been shot down, with most of them targeting Belgorod, Kursk and Briansk. Several injuries and property damage have been reported on Russian soil. So, President Volodymyr Zelensky takes stock of the last week.
The Russian army attacked Ukraine with about 700 aerial bombs and over 100 drones, just this week”, he confirms, adding that the people are suffering every day from Russian terror.
“Ukrainians deserve reliable protection,” Zelenskiy underlines, calling for more long-range weapons and good air defense systems. “Any concrete decision by our partners to strengthen our defense can save lives,” was the Ukrainian leader’s appeal to Western allies.
He ensures that his country can achieve the goals in the war with Russia. But Vladimir Putin is ramping up the strike force. Media in Kiev report that Russia took to the skies several Tu-95ms strategic bombers. Kherson and Mykolaiv regions were targeted.
This comes after the Russian president threatened Europe with nuclear power. Putin announced that he will place missiles and nuclear weapons on the border with EU countries after the decision in NATO to place American missiles in Germany or other European countries. The head of the Kremlin announced that the production of medium-range nuclear weapons will begin.
