Zelensky Calls for Ukraine to Launch 1,000 Drones at Russia Daily

  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered Ukraine's military to launch 1,000 drones daily against Russia, significantly escalating the country's long-range strike capabilities in the ongoing war.
  • Currently averaging more than 300 daily strikes, Ukraine's military must expand output to reach the 1,000-drone target while pressuring Vladimir Putin by targeting Moscow.
  • In early July, Zelensky told the Financial Times that the conflict's key phase shifted to the air, calling the "battle in the sky" the deciding factor in the outcome.
  • Consistent long-range strikes could force the Russian leader to relocate beyond the Urals, as Zelensky believes the farther Putin is from Moscow, the closer the end of the war.
  • Defending against jet-powered Shaheds while maintaining frequent long-range strikes, the military aims to fulfill what Zelensky said is a "very specific" goal Ukraine will accomplish.
