According to him, “the enemy is using new means of attack.”
Artyukh emphasized that “a significant increase in the number of shellings was recorded in the border region of Sumy region. Compared to last year, their number has increased four times.”
“I will say frankly that we record more shelling. Four times more. More FPV drones are being used, which last year did not exist at all, and today there are already more than 130. These are UAVs, Shaheds, and drones,” Artyukh noted.
At the same time, the head of the OVA praised the Ukrainian military, who “continue to perform their duties professionally, reducing the consequences of shelling and ensuring the safety of the civilian population in the region.”
“I have to note the professional actions of our air defense forces, they work quite effectively,” he said.
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.
Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes committed by the Russian Federation and emphasize that they are targeted.
