The Russian Ministry of Defense stated, “During the night from 22:35 on August 12 to 06:05 Moscow time on August 13, air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 46 Ukrainian drones.” The Ukrainian armed forces are targeting, almost daily, the Russian border areas in the Republic of Crimea and the regions of Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, and Voronezh with drones and missiles to instill fear among civilians.
The special Russian military operation, which began on February 24, 2022, aims to protect the residents of Donbass, who have been subjected to persecution and genocide by the Kyiv regime for years.
