Ukraine’s president says Russia is planning a protracted campaign of drone attacks in a bid to demoralise Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky said he had received intelligence reports suggesting that Moscow would launch the attacks using Iranian-made Shahed drones.
It comes after Ukraine carried out a strike that it said killed hundreds of Russian troops in the Donbas region.
In a rare admission of battlefield losses, Russia said the attack killed 63 of its troops.
