Zelensky: Currently over 100 Russian drones in sky; new attacks may occur throughout day

There are currently more than a hundred Russian drones in Ukrainian airspace, and further waves of drone attacks may occur throughout the day.

According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky issued this warning on Facebook.

“There are currently more than a hundred Russian drones in our skies, and there may be more waves of drone attacks throughout the day. Russia continues its strikes and is doing so brazenly – deliberately targeting our railway infrastructure and civilian sites in our cities. Unfortunately, people were wounded and killed in these strikes; my condolences to all their families and loved ones,” he stated.

As the president noted, 14 regions came under Russian attack yesterday. Last night, the Russians struck residential and railway infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions, port infrastructure in the Odesa region, and energy facilities in the Poltava region.

“At all levels, our warriors are countering these attacks, and 111 drones were shot down or jammed overnight alone,” the president emphasized.

As Zelensky noted, “It is important to repel every attack with resilience. It is important to support Ukraine and not remain silent about Russia’s war."

“Every time the war disappears from the top of the news, it encourages Russia to become even more savage. It is important that our diplomats implement the agreements we reach at the leaders’ level as quickly as possible. Ukraine needs the capacity to defend itself every day, and only strong joint action can ensure this,” the president underscored.

As reported by Ukrinform, as of 8:00 a.m. on May 13, Air Defense Forces had neutralized 111 out of 139 drones used by Russian troops to attack Ukraine since the evening of May 12.
