Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that 'war' is coming to Russia after drones targeting Moscow and the Crimea peninsula were downed
UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR Zelenskyy has warned that “war” is coming to Russia after drones targeting Moscow and the Crimea peninsula were downed in attacks that damaged two office towers in the capital and briefly shut an international airport.
“But we must be aware that, just as last year, Russian terrorists can still attack our energy sector and critical facilities this winter,” Zelenskyy said, adding that preparations for “all possible scenarios” were discussed in Ivano-Frankivsk. Russia has been targetted with a series of recent drone assaults – including on the Kremlin and Russian towns near the border with Ukraine – that Moscow has blamed on Kyiv.
“One Ukrainian UAV was destroyed in the air by air defence systems over the territory of the Odintsovo district of Moscow region. “Another nine Ukrainian drones were suppressed by means of electronic warfare and, without reaching the target, crashed into the Black Sea,” the ministry said, adding that there were no victims.
