Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has instructed the military to increase drone attacks on Russia, aiming to deploy '1,000 drones a day.' He stated, 'There is a concrete goal, and we will fulfil this task,' emphasizing the strategic shift in Ukraine's military operations.

This announcement comes as Russia has continued its attacks in Ukraine, resulting in casualties, including deaths and injuries among the civilian population, according to reports. Ongoing hostilities have intensified pressures on both countries involved in the conflict.

In a related development, CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently visited Moscow, where he reportedly provided a bleak assessment of the war from the U.S. perspective. Details of the discussions held during this visit remain limited, adding to the complexity of international responses to the conflict.
