President Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukraine shot down nearly 90 Iranian kamikaze drones in two days
“It’s only been two days into the year and the number of Iranian drones shot down over Ukraine is already over 80,” Zelensky said in his presidential address on Monday.
“This number could increase in the near future. Because in these weeks the nights can be very restless,” he added, quoting from NewsweekTuesday (3/1/2023).
Zelensky warned that Russia was planning a sustained attack with Shahed’s drone.
“The bet could be on tiredness. To the exhaustion of our people, our air defense, our energy sector,” she said.
“But we must ensure – and we will do everything for this – that this terrorist cause fails like any other.”

He also urged Ukrainian forces to remain vigilant against Russian-launched airstrikes.
“Now is the time when everyone involved in protecting the skies should be extremely careful,” the Ukrainian president said.
“The Russian regime needs to mobilize emotion. Something they want to show their country to keep lying that everything is going ‘according to plan’,” he continued.
