Ukraine is preparing for new massive attacks by the Russian Federation.
“We will prepare. We are shooting down drones. As you can see, in two days – New Year’s Eve and after New Year’s Eve – 84 drones were shot down. 100% were shot down by the Anti-Aircraft Defense of Ukraine. Such results have never been achieved before. Drones are already approaching the number of half a thousand since September 11. That’s half a thousand drones shot down. The number of shot down cruise missiles is a little less,” explained the spokesman of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Yuriy Ihnat also noted that the Russian army was deliberately increasing the use of cheap Iranian drones in order to wear down air defenses of Ukraine and exert psychological pressure on citizens.
