Ukrainian drones are increasingly paralyzing Russian airspace and attacking deep inside the country. Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that “the conflict with Kiev is coming to an end,” although the attacks do not stop.
In turn, journalist Piotr Kaszuwara reported that Kiev sent at least 250 combat drones towards Russia on the night from Tuesday to Wednesday. “A night of air battle lies ahead of us,” he wrote on the X website.
