As a reminder, Zelenskyy reported that over the past four days, Russia has launched nearly 1,500 drones at Ukraine. About 800 of them are jet-powered drones, which are the most difficult to shoot down.

During the latest Russian attack on Ukraine, one of the aerial targets was detected in Moldovan airspace. It flew over the Transnistria region.

A fighter from the “Revanche” tactical group, with the call sign Filya, collected some unusual trophies from Russian positions. The occupiers are bringing a Cheburashka toy in military uniform with a “Z” patch, fan patches with phone numbers, and a medal “For Faith and Service to the Fatherland” to the front lines. Also among his spoils is a boot lost by Russian invaders as they fled.
