Moscow, Russia – The Russian Defense Ministry announced today that its forces shot down 90 Ukrainian military drones in recent days, a move reflecting the escalating clashes along the eastern front of the ongoing conflict between Moscow and Kyiv.
The ministry said in an official statement that Russian air defenses successfully countered the Ukrainian drone attacks, which targeted military and civilian sites, and affirmed the protection of civilians and vital infrastructure.
The statement indicated that this escalation reflects Ukraine’s increasing reliance on drones in its attempts to pressure Russian forces, but it has been met with an effective deterrent, demonstrating the strength of the Russian defense system and its ability to handle modern threats.
Military analysts warn that the continuation of this type of attack could lead to further regional escalation and increase pressure on European security, while Russia continues to bolster its defense capabilities to maintain military superiority in the air and on the ground.
