Russia continues its terror against Ukrainian cities and civilians. In recent days, record numbers of unmanned aerial vehicles have been launched, stated Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a government meeting.
"In these days, we are witnessing a record number of drones launched by the Russians. The primary target of these strikes is civilian infrastructure and the intimidation of the peaceful population," Shmyhal said.
He added that the Odesa region was under a massive strike last night. Before that, the enemy launched a large-scale attack on Kropyvnytskyi.
"All necessary services are working at the sites of the attacks. We sincerely thank the rescuers, medical personnel, and everyone helping to mitigate the consequences of these Russian attacks," he noted.
Russian attacks on Ukraine
Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Russia has regularly resorted to attacks, using various types of missiles, artillery, drones, and guided aerial bombs. The enemy attacks with drones virtually every night, posing a serious threat to civilians.
The United States is currently making efforts to establish a 30-day ceasefire on the front lines. This proposal is supported by Ukraine. Russia, in turn, has agreed to a mutual refusal to strike energy infrastructure objects.
Nevertheless, the enemy continues to carry out night-time attacks. For example, on the night of March 21, the Russian army launched 214 strike drones against Ukraine. As a result of the attack, the Odesa, Khmelnytskyi, Sumy, and Kyiv regions were affected.
Specifically, on the night of March 20, the enemy attacked with 171 strike UAVs.
