Russia unleashes record drone salvo, cripples key Ukraine infrastructure

ai generated text

Russian forces have reported significant territorial gains in the past month, with the Ukrainian military struggling to counter the onslaught. In a recent incident, Russia launched a record 188 drones at Ukraine overnight, with Ukraine's air force intercepting 76 of them and losing track of 96.

1. Our support for Ukraine has kept them in the fight, but we need to go further to change the trajectory of the conflict.
2. In pursuing its illegal war in Ukraine, Russia makes use of North Korean weapons and troops, Iranian drones and Chinese dual-use goods for its defence industry. This is a dangerous expansion of the war and a challenge to global peace and security.
Vladimir Putin
Kremlin
1. The kinetic impact is powerful, like a meteorite falling. We know in history what meteorites have fallen where, and what the consequences were. Sometimes it was enough for whole lakes to form.
2. We do not rule out the use of Oreshnik against the military, military-industrial facilities or decision-making centers, including in Kyiv.
3. Due to its striking power, especially when used en masse and in combination with other long-range precision systems that Russia also has, using it against enemy targets will be comparable in effect and power to using strategic weapons.
4. Of course, we will respond to the ongoing strikes on Russian territory with long-range Western-made missiles, as has already been said, including by possibly continuing to test the Oreshnik in combat conditions, as was done on November 21.

1. The consequences are bad because the facility was significantly affected and this will have an impact on the power supply of the entire region for a long time.
Ukrainian Air Force
1. The enemy launched a record number of Shahed attack UAVs and unidentified drones ....
2. Unfortunately, there were hits to critical infrastructure facilities, and private and apartment buildings were damaged in several regions due to the massive drone attack.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy
Ukraine Government
1. This is a vile escalation of Russian terrorist tactics.
Andrey Yermak
Ukraine Government
1. They stockpiled missiles to strike Ukrainian infrastructure, to wage war on civilians during the cold weather, during the winter. They were helped by their crazy allies, in particular from the DPRK.
2. They stockpiled missiles for attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, for warfare against civilians during … winter.
Joe Biden
Democratic Party
1. This attack is outrageous and serves as yet another reminder of the urgency and importance of supporting the Ukrainian people in their defense against Russian aggression.
