Zelenskyy fears Ukraine is ‘testing ground’ for Russian weapons amid rise in Shahed strikes
Kremlin has fired 500 drones over the border in the past week and set up two factories to make ‘hundreds a week’
Summary
Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy reported nearly 500 drone attacks and over 20 missile strikes by Russia in the past week, calling it a “testing ground” for Russian weapons.
Russia launched 460 Shahed drones, produced in domestic factories, which, though cost-effective and easier to neutralize, strain Ukraine’s air defenses.
Recent attacks, including Russia’s use of the Oreshnik ballistic missile, escalate tensions.
Ukraine urges allies for more air defense systems, while debates over supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles and potential NATO membership intensify among Western nations.
