Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, warned of possible waves of attacks with Russian drones throughout Wednesday, noting that over a hundred drones were in Ukrainian airspace, as Moscow has shifted tactics to increasingly attack during daylight hours.
Since the start of the war over four years ago, Russia has mainly carried out large drone and missile attacks during the night. However, in recent weeks, they have repeatedly sent hundreds of drones and missiles during the day.
Moscow denies intentionally targeting civilians but has killed thousands of them during the war, claiming that attacks on civilian infrastructure are legitimate if they degrade Ukraine's military capabilities. Meanwhile, Kiev has recently intensified long-range attacks on the Russian energy industry, albeit on a smaller scale.
