Russian defense prevented 39 Ukrainian drones’ night raid over five regions of the country, Russian authorities have announced on Monday whereas Kyiv officials said that forces from Kremlin intensified their efforts to overpower field defenses in the eastern Ukraine front line.
The drones were “intercepted and destroyed” in neighboring areas with Ukraine and in Leningrad region about 700 km north of the Ukrainian border, Russia’s defense ministry said.A power plant, a bridge and a power line were damaged by drone debris, it said.
To make this war that has entered its third year more expensive for Moscow and to disrupt its war machine as Kyiv is using sophisticated technology. Given that their attacks have become more ambitious over time, Ukraine can now dispatch drones against major installations deep inside Russia.
On Monday, the Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian troops had intensified their attack on Pokrovsk after weeks of fighting.
During the past 24 hours there have been 52 such incidents — almost twice as many as the average number reported daily in recent times. It added: Russia launched 52 attacks in the area during last twenty-four hours- which was nearly two times higher than before
For example, late Sunday president Zelenskyy described Donetsk region’s situation containing Pokrovsk as being “very difficult.”
Russia’s strategy has gradually been paying off. We pulverize Ukrainian defensive lines with our powerful glide bombs before bringing infantry into play so we can claim success when making key advances.Even though capturing Avdiivka-Russia had not achieved any breakthrough since then.
Ukraine is considerably outnumbered along its front line of approximately 1,000km /600 mile by bigger Russian forces.
