Ukrainian President Zelensky stated, "Of course, everything cannot be explained right now, but these are undoubtedly actions of Ukraine that will go down in history books," following the Ukrainian Army's attack on Russia.
The Ukrainian Army carried out a surprise attack on critical points in Russia today. Drones belonging to the Ukrainian army targeted more than 40 bombers capable of carrying nuclear bombs at Russian airports.
THE TOLL IS VERY HEAVY
It was reported that the attack, named "Operation Spider Web," was planned for 1.5 years and was personally directed by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
In the attack organized by Ukraine, it was stated that more than 40 aircraft, including A-50, Tu-95, and Tu-22 M3, were hit, and it was claimed that the attacks caused a $2 billion loss to Russia.
DRONES WERE INTRODUCED INTO RUSSIA BEFORE THE ATTACK
Details that emerged regarding the attack indicated that the drones used in the assault on Russian air bases had been smuggled into Russia earlier. It was reported that the drones were hidden in wooden cabins and trucks that were later smuggled into Russia, and they took off from these trucks to reach their targets.
FIRST STATEMENT FROM ZELENSKY
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky made his first statement on social media following the surprise attack.
Zelensky said, "The head of the Ukrainian Security Service, Vasyl Maliuk, presented a report regarding today's operation," adding, "Absolutely excellent result. A result achieved solely by Ukraine. From the beginning of planning to effective execution, it took one year, six months, and nine days. Our longest-term operation. Our personnel who prepared the operation withdrew from Russian territory in time. I thanked General Maliuk for Ukraine's success. I instructed the Ukrainian Security Service to inform the public about the details and results of the operation that can be disclosed."
"IT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY BOOKS"
Zelensky stated that the attack would go down in history books, saying, "Of course, everything cannot be explained right now, but these are undoubtedly actions of Ukraine that will go down in history books. Ukraine is defending itself and is justified in doing so – we are doing everything to make Russia feel the necessity to end this war. Russia is the one that started the war, and it should be the one to end it. May victory be for Ukraine."
