Zelensky predicts fighting on Russian soil is unavoidable.

Ukrainian ​President Justifies Military‍ Attacks on Russian⁤ Territory

In a televised address on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky defended the military attacks on Russian ​territory, describing them as “fair” and⁣ “inevitable.” Zelensky stated,​ “Ukraine is ⁣growing stronger, and gradually, the war is reaching the symbolic centers and military bases ⁤of Russia. This is a natural and absolutely‍ just process.”

The remarks were made on the same day when Russian officials reported the downing of three Ukrainian drones in Moscow. This incident ⁢highlights Ukraine’s determination to bring the fight into Russia itself, as two office buildings near the Kremlin were damaged in the⁢ attack.

Zelensky further emphasized, “Russian aggression‌ has failed on the battlefield. Today marks the 522nd day of the so-called ‘special ⁤military operation,’ which the Russian ‍leadership expected to be over within a week or two.”

This drone attack follows a previous incident on May 3, where‌ two ⁣explosive drones‌ were shot down over the⁣ Kremlin. Despite Russia⁢ accusing Ukraine,​ the latter denied any involvement.

These comments come amidst escalating tensions between Russia and the United States. Last week, a Russian fighter ​jet fired flares‌ at a U.S. drone in Syria, causing damage to its propellers. In March, another Russian fighter jet damaged ⁤the propellers of a U.S. ⁢drone, leading to its crash into ​the Black Sea. The White House condemned this incident as “unsafe and unprofessional.”
