Shelling of Ukraine by Russia

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the terrorist state Russia has been using a wide range of weaponry to shell critical and civilian infrastructure. In particular, the enemy conducts attacks almost every night. For instance, on the night of January 30, terrorists launched 81 drones against Ukraine. At that time, air defense (AD) was operational in ten regions of our country.
