UNITED24 Media • • world
Key Points:
- Ukraine plans to increase its production of long-range aerial drones from about 300 to 1,000 units per day to intensify pressure on Russia amid ongoing conflict.
- President Zelenskyy highlighted that these drone operations are disrupting Russia's economic stability, supply chains, and petrol reserves, aiming to weaken Moscow's war effort.
- The Ukrainian government is also accelerating the development of interceptor drones to counter the increased deployment of Russian Shahed attack drones.
- Russian petrol production has fallen significantly, causing fuel shortages and regional sales restrictions, partly due to Ukraine's targeted strikes on major oil refineries.
- Ukraine's campaign has disabled over 40% of Russia's refining capacity, forcing Russia to import fuel and sell crude oil at discounted prices internationally.
