Zelenskiy Urges Stronger Response to Russian Drone Threat

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called for a more decisive response from Kyiv's allies to a probable Russian drone incursion into Poland, suggesting it aims to thwart air defence supplies to Ukraine. He urged an evaluation of air defence strategies, noting the high costs of missile-based systems against low-cost drones.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has intensified calls for a robust international response to a suspected Russian drone incursion into Poland, which he suggests is a strategic move to disrupt air defence supplies to Ukraine as winter approaches.

Speaking at a press briefing in Kyiv with Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Zelenskiy highlighted the economic imbalance in using costly missile-based systems to combat relatively inexpensive drones.

The Ukrainian leader urged allied nations to reassess their air defence strategies to better address emerging threats posed by drones, a challenge that necessitates collaborative and innovative solutions.
