Ukrainian long-range drones are accurately striking Russian invaders in temporarily occupied Crimea and destroying the enemy’s logistics, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the Crimean Platform summit in New York.
Zelenskyy noted that Ukrainian strikes are aimed at preventing Russia from turning Crimea into one large military base.
"We have to do this to protect the lives of our people. Our long-range drones are accurate, our pressure on Russian logistics is producing results. And the Russian war machine is facing serious, very serious difficulties," the president said.
