The Russian Defense Ministry says 38 Ukrainian drones were shot down by air defense. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sends a new call for help to the West.
According to Russian information, the Ukrainian army launched another major drone attack on the Crimean peninsula, which was annexed by Moscow, on Sunday night. However, all 38 drones were successfully shot down by air defense in the Black Sea region, the Russian Defense Ministry said. Whether this was really the case might not initially be independently verified. When it comes to attacks by Ukrainian drones, Moscow often claims to have repelled them all.
Meanwhile, people wrote on social networks regarding loud explosion noises in the region around the city of Feodosiya. There were also reports of columns of smoke near an oil depot. In the meantime, the Russian authorities stopped car traffic on the Crimean Bridge, which connects the Russian mainland with Crimea, which was annexed in violation of international law in 2014.
Zelenskiy sends new call for help to the West
After the deaths of two children in a Russian drone attack in Odessa on the Black Sea, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has once more called for Western help with anti-aircraft defense. “Delays in the delivery of weapons to Ukraine and in air defense to protect our population unfortunately lead to such losses,” Zelenskiy told X on Saturday evening. Russian terror must be stopped. “And when people die while our partners get lost in political games or discussions that limit our defense, that is incomprehensible and unimaginable.”
