The Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that Russian forces attacked Ukraine with nine Iskander-M ballistic missiles/S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles, as well as 165 strike UAVs, about 100 of which were Shaheds.
“According to preliminary data, as of 08:00, air defense shot down/suppressed 137 enemy UAVs of the Shahed, Gerber and other types of drones in the north, center and east of the country,” the message reads. The military specified that ballistic/anti-aircraft guided missiles and 26 strike UAVs were hit at 10 locations, as well as falling debris at nine locations.
The strike of the Russian Federation was carried out before two meetings of Kyiv with partners aimed at ending the war. On January 5, the chiefs of general staff of Ukraine and European countries are scheduled to hold talks, including key allies of Kyiv – Great Britain, France and Germany; On January 6, a meeting will be held in Paris at the level of the leaders of the countries that are part of the “Coalition of the Willing”.
The Russian military regularly attacks Ukrainian regions with various types of weapons – attack UAVs, rockets, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles.
The leadership of Russia denies that the Russian army during a full-scale war inflicts targeted strikes on the civilian infrastructure of the cities and villages of Ukraine, killing the civilian population and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy and water supply facilities.
The Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes of the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are purposeful in nature.
