Russia has escalated its drone strikes on Ukrainian cities as its troops advance in the east, firing about 10 times more drones than last fall, according to President Volodomyr Zelensky. The use of decoy drones without warheads has also been observed, with these drones confusing Ukraine's air defenses by imitating the appearance of lethal drones.
These tactics mark a shift in Moscow's strategy following concerns about potential changes in US support under the newly reelected President. Ukraine is currently facing a significant Russian offensive on the eastern frontlines, with residents in Kyiv and other areas experiencing constant drone attacks and air raid sirens.
