Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the massive drone attack on Russia's capital. It is a fair response to Russia’s continued strikes on Ukraine, stated Zelenskyy at a briefing.
According to the President, the recent drone attack on Moscow and the surrounding region was not a show of force but a justified response to Russia’s actions against Ukraine.
Zelenskyy also stated that the drones used in the attack were Ukrainian-made.
“Our army uses long-range weapons of our own production when it comes to drones. This is not a demonstration of power but a fair response to what Russia is doing to us,” he emphasized.
The President also addressed Russia’s repeated strikes on Kryvyi Rih, noting that “there are no hotels left in Kryvyi Rih” after Russian attacks.
“There was a strike on Kryvyi Rih, again targeting a hotel. The attack was carried out with ballistic missiles, and it was not a single strike - it hit the same hotel multiple times, meaning it's not a coincidence. Do you think Ukrainian forces will respond to this? We didn’t start this war, but we want it to end. But killing our people and not being held accountable for it - no, this will not happen,” Zelenskyy stressed.
Massive drone attack on Moscow
On the night of March 11, Moscow reported an attack by unidentified unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), resulting in damage and fatalities. In response, Russian authorities imposed a closed sky regime at all capital airports.
Initially, Moscow region governor Andrey Vorobyov reported one fatality and three injuries, but the number of wounded later rose to 20.
Notably, the Dyagilevo military airfield in Russia’s Ryazan region was also targeted.
More details on the overnight drone attack on Moscow can be found in the material by RBC-Ukraine.
