Russia calls attack by over 100 Ukrainian drones ‘convulsions’

The attack of 128 drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on Russia is a convulsion, said the Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Grigory Karasin. The senator shared his opinion about the night attack of the Ukrainian army in a conversation with Lenta.ru.

"First of all, I would like to emphasize that our Armed Forces have already learned to deal with these countless clouds of drones. Secondly, of course, these are the convulsions of the regime. This senseless launch of hundreds of drones shows that the process of disintegration of thought has begun among the leadership of Ukraine, including the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine," Karasin said.

According to the senator, Kyiv is thus trying to destroy the logic of world politics, which is now leading to the search for a solution to the Ukrainian crisis.

"We intend to actively participate in this. But, of course, conscience and the ability to think ahead should be characteristic of the Kyiv regime as well. It is probably impossible to achieve this in this composition, but in the future it will be necessary," he concluded.

On the night of Wednesday, February 26, air defense alert systems intercepted and destroyed 128 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over Russian regions. The attack was one of the most massive since the beginning of the year. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, 83 drones were intercepted over the territory of Krasnodar Krai, 30 over the territory of the Republic of Crimea, and one UAV each over the territories of Bryansk and Kursk regions. In addition, eight drones were shot down over the waters of the Sea of ​​Azov, and five over the waters of the Black Sea.
