The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has no data on possible upcoming Russian strikes. However, they do not rule out such a possibility, said Yurii Ihnat, the head of the communications department of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, during a telethon broadcast.
"I have no data regarding the next strikes. But it is fair to say that anything can happen. At the same time, I would like to emphasize that the Defense Forces are using every possible method to the fullest extent today," he said.
Ihnat added that today the enemy attack was repelled by various types of fighters, helicopters, fire groups, electronic warfare means, and unmanned systems forces, which are also strengthening their capabilities for drone air defense.
Reminder: Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, previously reported that Russian information channels contain signals about preparations for renewed combined strikes on Ukraine.
