Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said in a video address that the country plans to increase the number of drones used in long-range attacks to 1,000 a day. The move is reportedly aimed at increasing pressure to end Russia's invasion.
In a video address on the 28th, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy announced plans to increase the number of drones used in long-range attacks aimed at ending Russia's invasion from the current daily average of more than 300 to 1,000. He indicated in the address that he intends to increase the effectiveness of the operation by strengthening the pressure.
He referred to several meetings with the U.S. side, reportedly suggesting an intention to pursue strategic moves while receiving support from allied countries. Some reports have interpreted the remarks as referring to the visit to Moscow by CIA Director Ratcliffe.
The announcement publicly demonstrated Ukraine's policy of strengthening its deterrence without anticipating a prolonged armed conflict with Russia, and is drawing attention as a key point in future military and diplomatic developments. The article was compiled based on reporting by Kyodo News.
