Zelensky’s Shocking Drone Strike Revelation: “188 Drones Attacked!”
Yes, you heard that right! Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has revealed stunning details about Russia’s largest drone strike to date. Speaking late at night via his social media account, Zelensky declared, “Tonight, Russia attacked Ukraine and launched 188 unmanned aerial vehicles against our people.” Just imagine—188 deadly machines in the skies! So, how did Ukraine respond? Let’s dive into the details.
Aerial Battle: 80 Drones Shot Down
Zelensky began by praising Ukraine’s Air Defense Forces. Around 80 drones were successfully intercepted and destroyed! But what about the rest? Over 90 drones lost their way and failed to reach their intended targets. Yet, the damage wasn’t entirely avoided. Several drones hit critical infrastructure in the Ternopil region, causing widespread power outages. Darkness fell over entire communities.
“Sanctions Evasion Made These Attacks Possible”
Now, here’s the critical part. Zelensky emphasized that many of the drones contained foreign-made components. Yes, you read that correctly! “These attacks are only possible because Russia has mastered the art of bypassing sanctions through various means,” Zelensky stated. He then directed a sharp message to Ukraine’s allies.
“If You Want to Stop the War, Stop Them Evading Sanctions!”
Zelensky was clear: stricter international sanctions against Russia are urgently needed. “If you’re against this war, then you must also be against allowing Russia to evade sanctions,” he declared. Words alone won’t cut it—action is needed, and it’s needed now.
In Summary…
Here’s the situation: a record number of drones in the skies, and a war that refuses to slow down on the ground. While Russia ramps up its aggression, Ukraine is not only holding the line but also sending a clear message to the world: “Stand with us, or stand aside. But do not ignore this war.” The real question is: will the international community listen to Zelensky’s call for action? Time will tell.
