Russia is intensifying its terror against Ukraine. In particular, the number of attacks by the Shaheds is increasing, so the West must lift all restrictions to protect our country, states Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.

He said that in September, Russia used 1,331 Shahed drones against Ukraine. This equates to about 44 drones per day.

Meanwhile, in October, the enemy used 1908 Shaheds to attack Ukraine. That is, on average, the Russians used 62 drones per day during that month.

Today, Russia has already launched 71 drones in Kyiv and other cities. In this regard, the Foreign Minister called on the West to take two actions.

“Let us strike their bases and storages in Russia. Allow partners to intercept them in our sky. Lift all restrictions on protecting life from terror,” Sybiha wrote.

Air defense forces shot down all the drones that threatened Kyiv on November 2. There were no direct hits in the capital, but the fall of Russian drone debris was recorded in six districts of the capital, namely Solomianskyi, Sviatoshynskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, Holosiivskyi, Pecherskyi, and Dniprovskyi.

In particular, in the Sviatoshynskyi district, the upper floors of a high-rise building were on fire due to the debris from a UAV.
