Intensified Russian Drone Attacks Challenge Ukraine's Morale
Recent months have seen a surge in drone attacks, posing a severe challenge to Ukraine's morale and safety. Kyiv residents are facing coordinated attacks involving hundreds of drones and missiles targeting urban centers.
Last night, cities including Kyiv were hit hard, forcing residents to seek shelter once again in air raid shelters and subways. A Kyiv resident, Katya, described the building shaking during the bombardment, expressing feelings of "fear." The UN human rights monitoring mission reported that June was the deadliest month for civilians in three years.
New drone designs make attacks more lethal, with enhanced range and explosive power putting severe strain on Ukraine's air defenses. Experts warn that if the drone threat is not addressed, Ukraine may face greater challenges in the future. President Zelensky continues to urge allies to strengthen air defense systems to counter the threats from Russian drones.
