According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrainian strikes against Russian targets have become more effective due to improved technology and new operational strategies.

The head of state said this during a conversation with journalists, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

“First, our drones have become more effective. Technologies are improving every day. Second, sometimes we carry out operations in which we destroy several targets, and sometimes we decide to focus on one. The Russians now have major problems with certain facilities,” Zelensky said.

He noted that Ukraine carries out retaliatory attacks after any strike on its energy sector.

“If the Russians want this to stop, they must stop their strikes, and then we will act in a mirror response,” the President said.
