Russia has an abundant supply of Shahed suicide drones from Iran – enough to launch daily attacks on Ukraine, Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat said on Ukrainian national television on June 1.
"Shaheds are now launched so often that it is not clear whether they are (supposed to be) detecting or depleting our air defense. It's all in one: both detecting and, surely, depleting," Ihnat said.
Russia has received enough UAVs from Iran to make the launches of the Shahed attack drones almost daily, he noted.
Russia conducted air strikes on Ukraine almost every day during the past month of May. In particular, the enemy launched Iranian-made Shahed-136/131 barrage munitions on Kyiv overnight on May 31. A total of 31 UAVs were targeting Ukraine that night.
Falling debris caused damage and fires in various districts of the capital.
Three people were killed, including a child, and another 11 injured by the Russian attack on Ukrainian civilians.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
