At the end of 647 days of war in Ukraine, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, calls to accelerate the construction of fortifications to stop the progress of Russian troops on the Eastern Front on a tour to boost the morale of the troops in the Kharkiv region.
“This means, of course, paying the greatest attention to Avdiivka, Maryinka and other sectors of the Donetsk region. In the Kharkiv region, in the Kupiansk sector and the Kupiansk-Lyman line,” the president said in his evening speech on video.
Last night, the Ukrainian Army shot down 18 of the 25 drones launched by Russia, which attacks Ukrainian territory almost daily with Shahed drones.
In recent months, Russia has hardly used missiles in these night attacks, so kyiv fears that it is accumulating this type of weaponry with a view to a new campaign of massive attacks against the energy system coinciding with the drop in temperatures.
The Russian Navy claims to have Ukrainian ship destroyed without crew in western Black Sea heading towards the Crimean peninsula, annexed by Russia in 2014.
