Russia plans drone air campaign to "exhaust" Ukraine: Zelenskyy

Russia is planning a protracted campaign of aerial bombardments and attacks using Iranian-made drones in a bid to "exhaust" Ukraine into submission, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In his nightly address to the nation on Monday, Zelenskyy said that Ukraine had received intelligence that Russia would increase its campaign of drone raids on the country. "We have information that Russia is planning a long-term attack using Shahed drones," Zelenskyy said. "It is probably banking on exhaustion. Exhausting our people, our anti-aircraft defences, our energy," he said.
