The Russian Defense Ministry claims that it has been destroyed by 162 Ukrainian drones over its territory since Sunday. Continuing attacks come only shortly before new negotiations.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced on Monday that it has disposed of 162 Ukrainian drones over its territory since Sunday evening, most of them in the regions adjacent to Ukraine.
As the AFP said, more than a third of this number, 57 drones, was shot down above the Kursk area, another 31 above Belgorod and 27 drones were eliminated over the Lipet area.
Drones over the Russian areas
According to the Ministry of Defense, the remaining drones were disposed of over the Voronezh, Brian, Riazan, Oriol and Tambov region, as well as the annexed Crimean Peninsula.
The mutual attacks between the Russian and the Ukrainian army occurred only a few hours before the Ukrainian and Russian delegation should be again at the negotiations in Istanbul.
