Zelenskyy hopes for quick US action as more arms depots are hit in Russia
A major Ukrainian drone attack set multiple Russian arms depots ablaze, destroying what Ukraine’s General Staff said were thousands of tons of weaponry, including missiles from North Korea.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, meanwhile, appealed for quick action from the United States to send more weapons before his visit to the White House next week with a multi-point “victory plan.”
Ukraine launched more than 100 drones at Russia and the occupied Crimean Peninsula overnight, Russian news reports and the Defense Ministry said Saturday.
The strikes set an arms depot on fire that appeared to be in the same town as one struck by Ukrainian drones early Wednesday, wounding 13 people and also causing a huge blaze. Arms and ammunition depots were also hit in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region.
