President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that the intensity of Russia's nighttime drone attacks has increased significantly. According to him, the use of less than 100 drones in one night is now considered an unusual phenomenon.

He said this during a speech at the G7 summit, according to «Suspilne».

«If last year the use of one hundred Shahed drones in one night caused a real shock, now it seems unusual if less than one hundred drones are used in one attack», Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
