Ukraine Faces Wave of Russian Drone and Missile Attacks

Amidst the flurry of information surrounding the presidential campaign, a crucial development has been largely overlooked: a dramatic worsening of the situation for Ukrainian defenders in the face of Russian aggression. This involves a sharp increase in drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian territory. To understand the scale of this increase, consider these figures: in 2022, the highest number in a single month was 500 drones or missiles, usually closer to 100-200. This number has since risen, with several months this year seeing over 2000 drone and missile attacks on Ukraine. "Last weekend, May 24-26, the Russians launched over a thousand drones and missiles at Ukrainian territory," states Onet journalist Marcin Wyrwał. This alarming escalation underscores the ongoing conflict and the challenges faced by Ukraine.
