Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy speaks in Vilnius, Lithuania, about Sunday's drone strikes deep in Russian territory which damaged a significant portion of the Kremlin’s strategic bomber fleet. He also comments on the second round of peace talks with Russia which have taken place in Istanbul.
Ukraine’s drone strike deep inside Russian territory left Kremlin officials angry and alarmed over the sudden vulnerability of a nuclear-capable air fleet far from the battlefield, according to people close to senior officials in Moscow.
Sunday’s dramatic attack on Russian long-range bombers in air fields in Siberia helped to disrupt an arsenal that Moscow deploys to hit Ukraine with some of its most powerful missiles. It also demonstrated Ukraine’s ability to hit key assets thousands of miles from the front lines, which the Russian military had thought were safe.
While nobody is predicting that Sunday’s dramatic attack will change the course of Vladimir Putin’s war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy celebrated the “brilliant” covert operation.
Planned over a year and a half and involving unmanned aerial vehicles popping out of trucks that had been driven across Russia’s vast expanse, it was the longest-range mission undertaken in the three-year war, he said.
