Over the weekend, Russia launched over 500 drones and 50 missiles, targeting nine regions across Ukraine. The wave of attacks injured dozens of people, including a 72-year-old resident in Zaporizhzhia. This massive assault demonstrated that Ukraine’s air defense system struggles to stop a large number of missiles and drones launched in a short period.
Although the capital, Kyiv, was not a primary target this time, air raid sirens were still activated. President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his disappointment with his American and European allies, criticizing their “lack of reaction.” He stated that the international community’s response has been inadequate. Due to the proximity of the attacks, Poland mobilized its air force as a precaution. President Zelensky continues to pressure his allies, urging them to provide a more adequate response and the necessary support to defend Ukraine.
