Few hours after Ukraine joined a proposal for a 30 -day weapons real estate, the drones came. Around midnight, the mayor of Kyiv reported upcoming attacks. Then came the messages from the mayors of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, and Dnipro, a central industrial city. Russia’s attack drones were of Shahed, an Iranian -produced drone full of explosive, according to Ukrainian authorities. The drones are programmed to circle their goal before they clog. Russia has often used such drones, as they call Geran-2, in their attacks against Ukraine.

It is decided within Russia, she says to the state medium Tass. It is expected that Russia and the United States will discuss the weapons plan for the next few days that Americans agree with Ukraine in Saudi Arabia Tuesday night. What were Ukraine and the United States agreed? Every night, Zelenskyj speaks to the Ukrainian people.
