During the night and morning of May 13, Russia attacked 14 regions of Ukraine at once, while more than 100 drones have already been detected in Ukrainian skies, according to a statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
More than a hundred drones and new waves
"There are currently more than a hundred Russian drones in our skies, and there may be more waves of drone attacks during the day," Zelenskyy said.
According to him, Russia is deliberately striking railway infrastructure and civilian facilities in cities. The President reported wounded and dead.
What was burning during the night
Zelenskyy specified where exactly Russia struck during the night:
- Residential and railway infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions;
- Port infrastructure in the Odesa region;
- Energy infrastructure in the Poltava region.
Yesterday, 14 regions of Ukraine were under attack during the day.
Ukrainian air defense is operating. "111 drones have already been shot down and suppressed during this night alone," the president said.
"Every time the topic of war disappears from the top of the news, it encourages Russia to become even more brutal," he stressed.
Zelenskyy also called on diplomats to implement agreements reached at the leaders' level as quickly as possible. According to him, Ukraine needs a defense capability every day, and only joint activity can ensure this.
The day before, Russia attacked Ukraine with 139 strike drones of different types - Shaheds, Gerberas, Italmáses, and Parodiya imitation drones. Air defense neutralized 111 of them, but 20 hit 13 locations.
There are dead and wounded as a result of an overnight attack on Ukraine.
